MEATLOAF FLORENTINE



Meatloaf Florentine image

I had some spinach for a salad, but I can never finish those big bags before they turn slimy, so this recipe from meals.com was the perfect way to use the rest of the spinach. The recipe calls for frozen spinach, but fresh works just fine, 2 or 3 cups of it, chopped up in the food processor. I also used 1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs in place of the bread slices, the ingredient list, however, is being posted in it's original state.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use fresh, flavorful ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcook the Turkey: Turkey can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for moist, tender results.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: A meat thermometer is essential for ensuring that the turkey is cooked to the proper internal temperature. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey breast without touching any bones.
  • Let the Turkey Rest: After cooking, let the turkey rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and moist turkey.
