Instructions
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the fresh mushrooms, green onions, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5–7 minutes.
-
Incorporate Spinach: Stir in the frozen chopped spinach and salt, allowing the mixture to heat through. Once combined, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mix the egg, bread crumbs, minced onion, smashed garlic, soup mix, and black pepper. Add the cooled spinach mixture and Parmesan cheese, stirring until evenly incorporated.
-
Form the Turkey Roll: On a large piece of foil or wax paper, pat the ground turkey mixture into a rectangle about half an inch thick. Spread the spinach filling evenly over the turkey, leaving about 1 inch of edges clear.
-
Roll and Seal: Using the foil or wax paper, carefully roll the turkey mixture starting from the short side. Seal the seams and ends tightly to ensure no filling escapes.
-
Bake the Roll: Place the seam side down on a foil-lined baking pan that has edges to catch any juices. Coat the foil with cooking spray. Cover the roll with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50 minutes.
-
Finish Baking: Uncover the roll and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F (74°C).
-
Rest and Serve: Allow the turkey roll to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flavors!
With its savory filling and moist turkey, this Spinach Stuffed Turkey Roll is sure to become a favorite at your table, combining healthiness with an ultimate taste experience that your family and guests will adore.
