Ingredients
  

Recipe Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground turkey 93% lean recommended for best browning
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced evenly
  • 5 oz fresh baby spinach bright green leaves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for searing
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup yellow onion diced
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth for pan juices
  • 1 tbsp butter cold, unsalted
  • 1 tsp kosher salt to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
  • 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes for garnish
  • 0.25 cup white parmesan cheese finely grated

Equipment

  • 1 Dark Cast Iron Skillet Essential for browning the meat and creating a flavorful fond.
  • 1 Wooden Spoon Used for deglazing the pan and scraping up browned bits.

Method
 

Cooking Process
  1. Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, press into an even layer, and let sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes. Break into crumbles, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until no pink remains. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sear the sliced cremini mushrooms undisturbed for 2 minutes. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant.
  3. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up the browned bits. Swirl in the cold butter to create the glistening pan juices.
  4. Return the turkey to the skillet. Gradually fold in the fresh baby spinach, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the leaves are bright green and perfectly wilted.
  5. Remove from heat. Sprinkle evenly with crushed red pepper flakes and a light dusting of finely grated white parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not crowd the mushrooms in the pan; this prevents steaming.
Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best melting texture.
