Ingredients
  

  • * 24 wonton wrappers
  • * 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • * 1 lb lean ground turkey or 93/7 ground beef
  • * 1 clove garlic minced
  • * 1 tsp dried Greek oregano
  • * 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • * 1½ cups marinara sauce no sugar added
  • * 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • * 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
  • * 1½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • * ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • * Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • * Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush a standard 12-cup muffin tin generously with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat, minced garlic, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook 5-7 minutes until fully browned.
  3. Drain fat, stir in marinara sauce, and simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, stir together ricotta cheese and crumbled feta cheese.
  5. Press 1 wonton wrapper into the bottom of each muffin cup. Add 1 tsp ricotta mix, 1 tbsp meat sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
  6. Press a 2nd wonton wrapper firmly on top, rotating it at a 45-degree angle.
  7. Repeat layers with remaining ricotta mix, meat sauce, mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes until wonton edges are golden and crispy and cheese is melted and bubbling.
  9. Rest in pan for 5 minutes, unmold with a butter knife, garnish with fresh basil, and serve warm.

Notes

- To keep bottoms crispy, ensure marinara sauce is simmered until thick before layering.
- Reheat in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes for optimal crunch.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
