FETA STUFFED TURKEY MEATLOAF WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Feta Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf with Tzatziki Sauce Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by á-49169

Number Of Ingredients 20

TZATZIKI SAUCE:
1 cup yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 medium cucumber, cut in half longwise and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon chopped, fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon salt
MEATLOAF:
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 pounds ground turkey
1/4 cup coconut flour (or 1/2 cup bread crumbs)
1/2 cup chicken stock (reduce to 1/4 cup if using bread crumbs)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • For the sauce, mix all ingredients in a medium bowl and chill until serving. For the meatloaf, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 325°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions, salt and pepper and saute until onions are translucent but not browned, about 15 minutes. Add in spinach and stir until heated through. In a large mixing bowl, combine onion mixture, turkey, almond meal, chicken stock, eggs and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until very well combined. Place half of the turkey mixture on prepared baking sheet and shape into a flat rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Cover with feta cheese, pressing on feta to adhere to meatloaf. Place remaining turkey mixture overtop of feta and shape the whole thing into a rough loaf. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F on an instant read thermometer. Cut into slices and drizzle with tzatziki sauce, passing remaining sauce at the table.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground turkey. For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of ground turkey breast and ground turkey thigh. Ground turkey breast is leaner, while ground turkey thigh is fattier and more flavorful.
  • Season the ground turkey well. Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper, as well as other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meatloaf.
  • Use a variety of fillings. The possibilities are endless when it comes to fillings for stuffed turkey meatloaf. Some popular options include bread crumbs, vegetables, cheese, and nuts.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Stuffed turkey meatloaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for dinner or lunch. It's a great way to use up leftover turkey, and it's also a good option for a healthy and affordable meal. With so many different ways to prepare it, there's sure to be a stuffed turkey meatloaf recipe that everyone will enjoy.
