Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 lbs 99% fat free ground turkey
  • 5-6 cups cubed butternut squash
  • 2 tsp ground cumin, divided
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika, divided
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3-4 cups baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese

Instructions

  • In a very large skillet (I used a 14"), sauteed onion and garlic in cooking spray until slightly browned. 
  • Push the veggies to the side of the skillet, add olive oil to the middle, and sear turkey on top of the oil. Season with 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt.  Break turkey into chunks as you cook it.
  • Once turkey is cooked, add in butternut squash along with remaining 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Add 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook on medium-low until squash is slightly soft, 10-15 minutes.
  • Uncover and add spinach. Mix until wilted. Top with crumbled goat cheese.
