An easy and nutritious meal! I used ground turkey, frozen spinach, and spaghetti sauce. Fabulous one dish supper.

Delicious! I used brown rice and arugula instead of spinach. It looked very appetizing and the tasted even better. To me, this is the ultimate weeknight meal. Thank you.

Very Yummy! I used half a pound of ground turkey, brown rice, and frozen spinach. I ended up having to double the broth because of the brown rice, and I didn't have any tomatoes, so I just threw in diced fresh mushrooms instead. Being diabetic, it was perfect for me. I know it says "for 2" but I'm gonna end up scarfing it all myself! Thanks for the yummy, healthy lunch, Bec!

This was so delicious! Very easy and very flavorful! Really a refreshing change from the baked turkey I normally do! I don't know if it was a scale issue (I scaled up 3X), but there was a considerable amount of excess broth at the end. I just turned up the heat and boiled it off and it was fine. And it was so pretty with the white rice, red tomatos and green spinach; I would serve this for company! Thank you, Bec!!
