Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional) For added flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients to streamline your cooking process. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the mushrooms.
Cooking the Base
- In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
Browning the Turkey
- Introduce the ground turkey to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it up, cooking it thoroughly for around 5-7 minutes until it’s browned and no longer pink. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
Adding Mushrooms and Spices
- Once the turkey is cooked, mix in the sliced mushrooms, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms soften.
Incorporating Spinach
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously until the spinach wilts down.
Final Touches
- Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as necessary. If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top just before serving.
