Equipment

  • 1 skillet
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 small cup
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 food processor optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen spinach
  • .5 t cumin
  • .5 t paprika
  • .5 t coriander
  • .5 t onion powder
  • .5 t garlic powder
  • 1/4 t cayenne
  • 1 T dried parsley
  • 1 t salt
  • 1/4 t black pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 small shallot
  • 1.5 cups cauliflower rice
  • 3 T siracha mayo optional
  • 3/4 cup shredded lettuce optional
  • 6 T pico de gallo optional

Instructions
 

  • Over medium-high heat, coat the bottom of your skillet with olive oil (approx 2T) and add 1lb of ground turkey. Break the turkey up using the back of a wooden spoon or a meat masher tool (like this one).
  • While the meat is browning, combine all spices in a small cup. Add 1/2t cumin, 1/2t paprika, 1/2t coriander, 1/2t onion powder, 1/2t garlic powder, 1t salt 1/4t pepper, 1/4t cayenne, and 1T dried parsley.
  • Pour the seasoning mixture over the ground turkey and cook until no longer pink, while stirring occasionally.
  • Finely dice 1 red bell pepper and and 1 shallot. Note: I prefer to use my food processor to get ensure I get a nice, small dice, and to save a little time. Add diced vegetable's to the skillet and stir to combine.
  • Add in 1 cup of frozen spinach (defrost in the microwave for a few seconds if you need to to break up a bit to measure it out). Spinach will thaw the rest of the way in the hot skillet.
  • Continue cooking over medium heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until everything is well combine and warmed though.
  • Cook your cauliflower rice per the package instructions. I do mine in the microwave.
  • Scoop 1 cup of rice into bowls and top with a heaping cup of the ground turkey mixture. I like to add shredded lettuce and some store bought pico de gallo. Top with a drizzle a little siracha mayo.
