Spinach with ground turkey ( hindi kiymali ispanak )

This dish is very common in Turkey. My mom was cooking all the time so I learned from her.
It is very easy to make and very light dish. When I was cooking I forgot to put rice in it this time but it is better with rice. Please don't forget to put it. By the way, my mom never made it spicy but Jeremy love spicy so I added red pepper paste.

Ingredients
2 lbs spinach washed and drained
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb ground turkey
2 tablespoon rice
2 onion chopped
1 teaspoon tomatoes paste
1 teaspoon red pepper paste ( optional )
salt and pepper

Sauce
1/2 cup plain fat free  yogurt
1 garlic clove minced
Salt
Preparation Method
Saute the onion with olive oil in a large pan.
Then add the ground turkey cook it until done.
Add the tomatoes paste and red pepper paste stir well.
Add the spinach close the pan lid wait until spinach wilted.
and than add rice, salt and pepper cook until rice cook for about 20 minutes.
Serve spinach with  yogurt sauce.

  1. Why just two tablespoons of rice? Just to thicken?

    Looks good just the way you present it here.

  3. I recently make a turkey meatball recipe that used Amy’s chunky tomato bisque for the sauce and I put it over spaghetti squash, you could also make the recipe using lot’s of different farmers market veggies. Techlazy.com Crazyask.com Howmate.com
