Turn oven on to 425 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes. Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry.
Tear cheese into small pieces.In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, onion salt, and panko. Form turkey mixture into two equally-sized loaves. Press your thumb into center of each loaf and fill evenly with cheese pieces.Seal meat tightly around cheese to close. Place seam-side down in tray.Bake loaves uncovered in hot oven, 10 minutes.Meatloaves will finish cooking in a later step. -
2 Add the Pasta and Sauce
Carefully remove tray from oven and push loaves to one side. Tray will be hot! Use a utensil.
Top loaves evenly with 2 Tbsp. marinara (reserve remaining for pasta).Add spinach, pasta, crème fraîche, remaining marinara, and red pepper flakes (use less if spice-averse) to empty half of tray. Cover pasta half of tray with foil, leaving loaves uncovered. -
3 Bake the Meal
