Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb ground turkey 93/7 lean recommended
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Method
 

  1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and diced onion and cook until the mushrooms are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the ground turkey to the pan and break it up as it cooks until there’s no pink left, roughly 6 to 8 minutes; drain any extra fat. Mix in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the spinach, stirring until all of it has wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and blend in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan until the sauce is smooth and the cheese has melted. Serve right away.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, let the mushrooms brown well before adding other ingredients. You can swap ground turkey for ground chicken or beef if preferred. Store leftovers airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days.
