Spicy Turkey and Spinach Bites

Hello everyone!

Hope you are having a great week so far!

We have been really busy these first few days of the New Year because we got a new puppy ! How exciting, right? We've been enjoying this new season! So, spending all evening cooking dinner is not an option these days, so I needed some yummy, quick and portable. I think this one is a winner because it's FEELS indulgent but it's actually quite healthy for you.

Here's the recipe~ I hope you will try it out this week!





~1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

~1 medium yellow onion, minced

~2 cloves garlic, minced

~2 tbsp chili powder

~1 tsp ground chipotle pepper powder

~6 cups Baby spinach

~1 lb Natural Ground Turkey or Chicken

~3 Large Eggs, beaten

~1/2 cup Finely Shredded Mexican Style Cheese

~1/2 cup Greek Yogurt

~1 tsp Hot sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375.


2. Heat the oil in a large saute pan and add the onion, garlic, chili powder, and chipotle powder. Cook until onion is softened


3. Stir in the baby spinach and cover for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is completely wilted. Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool throughly.


4. Lightly oil a mini muffin tin. Add the ground chicken or turkey, eggs, and cheese to the cooled spinach mixture and scoop into mini-muffin tins. Bake for 15 minutes, until cooked through.


5. Remove the bites from the muffin tins and serve with a dip made by mixing greek yogurt, green onion, and hot sauce. Refrigerate leftovers.
