  • low-sodium chicken broth2 cup
  • olive oil4 tsp
  • dried rosemary1/2 tsp
  • kosher salt1 tsp
  • black pepper1/2 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the spinach. Do not rinse the turkey. Pat it dry if needed, then season it with salt and pepper.
  2. 2Heat the oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart, until browned and the thickest piece reads 165°F (74°C). Transfer it to a plate. Wash the skillet, knife, board, and your hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
  3. 3Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, cooking for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and rosemary for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. 4Stir in the rice, tomato sauce, broth, spinach, cooked turkey, and remaining salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and bake at 375F for 35-45 minutes, until the rice is tender and the casserole is bubbling.
  5. 5Sprinkle with parmesan and bake uncovered for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.
