How to Make Mini Turkey Meatloaves Wrapped In Collard Greens

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Remove thick stems from 1 bunch collard greens. Wash thoroughly.
  3. Steam collard greens for 3-4 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground turkey, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cumin (omit for Italian version), 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into small logs.
  6. Wrap each turkey log with 3-4 overlapping collard leaves, securing like a burrito or eggroll.
  7. Place the wrapped meatloaves seam-down in an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  8. Top each meatloaf with 1/4 cup of your choice of sauce (salsa, marinara, or pesto).
  9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  10. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and the collard greens are tender.
  11. For an Italian version, omit cumin and add 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning instead of the oregano, cumin, and chili flakes.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
