Spicy Broccoli, Spinach & Ground Turkey Stir-Fry!


I think when people make stir-frys they normally don't think about putting in ground turkey -- I know I used to mostly do chicken or steak, but yesterday I made this for lunch and it was delish!!  Check it out - high in protein & fiber, and low in calories!!  This is a complete meal, that packs tons of flavor, and won't leave you hungry!

2cups raw spinach (I used flat leaf)
6oz ground turkey, lean
1/4 cup chickpeas (drained/rinsed)
2tbsp Salsa (I used Great Value Black Bean & Corn Salsa)
3 cups broccoli (I used frozen)
seasonings to taste (I used Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb, McCormick Hot Shot, & Mrs Dash Southwest Seasoning)

Brown turkey - make sure cooked through - season with Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb & hot shot.  Set aside. 
Sautee broccoli over med-high heat, until tender, add in spinach & chickpeas.  Season with Southwest Seasoning.  Sautee until broccoli is wilted.  Add Turkey back into the frying pan - and mix in salsa.  Mix well, and remove from heat. 

Enjoy!!

Salsafied Turkey MeatLoaf

Let's be honest -- who doesn't like a good meatloaf?!  I think most everyone does - especially men.  I threw this together today - and it turned out so yummy.  My boyfriend and I both think it's pretty stinkin good!

12oz Ground turkey (LEAN)
4Tbsp Salsa (I used Newman's Own Black Bean & Corn Salsa)
6Tbsp Ketchup (split)
3-4tbsp chopped onions
3 medium mushrooms - chopped
1 egg
1/4 cup Bread Crumbs (I used Italian Style because that's what we had on hand)

Preheat oven to 400. 
Combine all ingredients (only 1/2 of the ketchup) in bowl and mix well.
Line baking sheet with aluminum foil - spray with non stick cooking spray. 
Form meat mixture into loaf on pan. 
Bake for 1 hour. 
(Remove from oven when there's about 10-15minutes left and spread remaining ketchup on loaf - then finish baking)

Makes 5 servings.
