Ingredients
1 pound (450g) 99% lean ground turkey
2 cups fresh spinach (about 150g)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (14.5-ounce/400g) can diced tomatoes (no salt added preferred)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute
Add ground turkey and break it apart with a wooden spoon, cooking 6-8 minutes until browned
Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper
Stir in diced tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes
Add fresh spinach and cook until wilting, about 2-3 minutes
Remove from heat and serve warm
Notes
Use fresh spinach for best texture; frozen can be substituted but may alter consistency
For extra moisture, add an additional tablespoon of diced tomatoes if cooking during drier months
To reduce sodium further, rinse canned tomatoes in water before using
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
