Preparation
1
Prep

  • Prick tomatoes with fork. 
  • Roughly chop spinach, then finely chop only 1 tbsp (2 tbsp).
  • Cut zucchini into1/4-inch quarter-moons. 
  • Halve ciabatta. Arrange on an unlined baking sheet, cut-side up.
  • Spread 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter on rolls. Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper. Set aside.

2
Make meatballs

  • Add turkey, finely chopped spinach, Italian breadcrumbs and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt to a large bowl. Season with pepper, then combine.
  • Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.

3
Cook meatballs

  • Arrange meatballs on parchment-lined baking sheet. 
  • Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 12-14 min.**

4
Cook veggies

  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. 
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then zucchini and baby tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are blistered and zucchini is tender, 4-5 min. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.) Season with salt and pepper.

5
Make sauce

  • Add red pepper pesto, 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water and roughly chopped spinach. Cook, stirring often, until spinach is wilted, 1-2 min. 
  • Remove the pan from heat. 

6
Finish and serve

  • Toast rolls in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 2-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn.)
  • Add meatballs to the pan with sauce, then toss to combine. 
  • Cut ciabatta into points. 
  • Divide veggies, meatballs and ciabatta between plates. 
  • Sprinkle feta over top.
