Categories     lunch     Protein Shake     Sandwich     Vegetarian

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pieces hearty wheat bread ((I like Dave's Killer Bread))
2 tablespoons fresh basil pesto ((I like Rana's fresh basil pesto))
1 tablespoon real mayo ((I like Best Foods/Hellmans))
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
1/4 cup lightly packed baby spinach
10 very thinly sliced red onion strips
3-4 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
4 slices Campari tomatoes
Small sprinkle fine sea salt and pepper
6 strips jarred roasted red pepper, (well drained (See Note 1))

Steps:

  • SANDWICH SPREAD: Set out two slices of bread. Spread one side of one slice with the pesto. In a small bowl, stir together the mayo and sriracha (add slowly and to heat preference). Spread this mayo on the other slice of bread on one side.
  • FILLING: Gently press the baby spinach on top of the mayo and Sriracha to secure it in place. Gently press the thinly sliced red onion strips on the side with pesto to secure in place. Sprinkle the feta cheese on top of the red onion and gently press it in. Remember this melts down a bit, so don't skimp! Add the thinly sliced tomatoes on top along with a tiny sprinkle of salt and pepper. Add the well-drained red pepper strips on top. Bring the sandwich piece with the spinach on top of the other.
  • COOK: Add sandwich to a panini press or electric grill. Alternatively, add to a dry skillet. For the electric grill: close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the bread is fully toasted with defined char marks and the cheese is melted. For a panini press: Add the sandwich and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden and cheese is melted, about 3 to 5 minutes. In a skillet: Preheat a dry skillet to medium low. Add the sandwich, then set a pan on top to weigh it down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip and cook another 2-3 minutes.

TURKEY MEATLOAF WITH FETA AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Turkey Meatloaf with Feta and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Categories     Bread     Tomato     turkey     Bake     Feta

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/2 cup plain dried bread crumbs
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped garlic-and herb-marinated sun-dried tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground turkey, preferably dark meat

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 5-inch nonstick loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, eggs, olive oil, feta, salt, and pepper. Add the turkey and gently stir to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat. Carefully pack the meat mixture into the prepared pan; it will fill the pan halfway.

Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers image

These are a big hit in the summertime when everyone is tired of the same old hamburgers and hot dogs. Serve with or without buns and your favorite condiments. I like to serve these with lettuce, tomato, and Tzatziki sauce (you can find recipes for that on this site as well).

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings is essential. Ciabatta, focaccia, or a hearty whole-wheat bread are all good choices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with flavors: The combination of turkey, feta, and cranberry is classic, but there are many other flavor combinations that you can try. Some other popular options include avocado, bacon, and Swiss cheese; roasted red peppers and pesto; or grilled zucchini and goat cheese.
  • Make sure your ingredients are fresh and high-quality: The better the ingredients, the better your sandwich will be. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the sandwich: A few well-chosen ingredients are better than a pile of fillings that will make your sandwich difficult to eat.
  • Spread the condiments evenly: This will help to prevent the sandwich from getting soggy.
  • Toast the bread: This will help to make the sandwich more flavorful and crispy.

Conclusion:

The hearty turkey feta sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
