Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground turkey
  • 10 oz Spinach
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tsp Cumin
  • 1.5 tbsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Tomatoes, diced (canned)
  • 1 Jalapeño(optional)
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Sear turkey: heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add diced onion and cook 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    Brown turkey: add ground turkey; cook until browned and crumbly, 7–9 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

  3. 3

    Season: stir in cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute to bloom spices.

  4. 4

    Simmer taco sauce: add diced tomatoes (and jalapeño if using). Simmer 10–12 minutes until thick. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  5. 5

    Make egg-lime crema: whisk eggs with Greek yogurt and lime juice in a bowl. Warm gently in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened (do not scramble).

  6. 6

    Sauté spinach: in a separate pan, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and wilt spinach with a pinch of salt.

  7. 7

    Assemble: divide spinach into bowls, spoon turkey mixture on top, and drizzle egg-lime crema. Garnish with cilantro.
