Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 turkey meatloaf, crumbled (about 3 cups), reserved from Greek-Style Turkey Meatloaf
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
3/4 cup ricotta
1 ounce feta, crumbled (1/4 cup)
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Red-pepper flakes (optional)
12 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together meatloaf, spinach, ricotta, feta, and lemon zest and juice. Season with salt, pepper, and red-pepper flakes, if using.
  • Lay 1 sheet phyllo on a work surface and lightly brush with oil (keeping remaining sheets covered with a damp towel). Top with 2 sheets phyllo, brushing each with oil. Cut in half crosswise and stack. Place 1 scant cup meat mixture in center; flatten slightly. Fold long sides inward to cover filling, followed by top and bottom. Lightly brush all over with oil. Repeat to make 3 more pies. Bake on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet until golden, 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
