About This Recipe

Ground turkey, tomatoes, olives, and spinach mixed in a red wine sauce to give a tangy flavor that works great for meal prep.  This dish is served with a side of lemon rice and tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground turkey (93/7)
• 1½ tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
• ½ cup black olives (canned)
• 4 Roma tomatoes (seeded)
• 1¼ cups spinach (chopped, frozen)
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 ½ cups cooked rice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 10 tbsp Tzatziki sauce (I use storebought, you can make it if needed)

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add in the turkey and brown.
2. While the turkey is cooking, cut the tomatoes into a medium dice. Cut out the seeds. Cut the olives as well if you bought whole ones.
3. Once the turkey has browned, add in the tomatoes, olives, ½ tbsp of olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped spinach, onion powder, and garlic powder. I use frozen, chopped spinach because it's easier but fresh spinach is fine. Just make sure you allow it to wilt a bit in the pan so you aren't left with huge leaves.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cook enough rice to have 2½ cups of cooked rice. 1 cup of dry rice will make between 2-3 cups depending on which kind you choose.
6. Once the rice has finished cooking, measure out 3 cups of cooked rice and add in 1 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tbsp of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. I use a storebought Tzatziki sauce for ease but you can make it if you need to. There is a recipe included with the Chicken Souvlaki recipe linked here https://mealprepmanual.com/chicken-souvlaki-with-roasted-vegetables/
8. This recipe makes ]5 servings. Divide your ingredients evenly 5 ways and add 2 tbsp of Tzatziki sauce to each.
