Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables and turkey evenly.
- Sauté onion and garlic: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Cook turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook it thoroughly, breaking it apart as it browns, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they soften, releasing their moisture and enhancing the dish’s flavor.
- Incorporate spinach and seasoning: Add the fresh spinach and sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the mixture. Cook until the spinach wilts down, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning to your preference for flavor balance.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the skillet hot as a wholesome and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Use lean ground turkey for a healthier option.
- Fresh mushrooms add the best flavor but canned can be substituted in a pinch.
- Spinach can be replaced with kale or swiss chard if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.
- This dish pairs well with quinoa, rice, or crusty bread for a more filling meal.
