Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, blended
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
  3. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally—about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Drain any excess fat or liquid from the skillet to keep the bake nice and fluffy.
  5. Stir in the blended cottage cheese until well combined.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  7. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, spreading it evenly over the top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use lean ground turkey for a healthier option.
  • Blend the cottage cheese for a smoother texture.
  • Serve with a side salad or crusty bread.
