Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 lb ground turkey 93% lean
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can crushed tomatoes 14 oz can
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 can artichoke hearts 14 oz can, drained and quartered
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach packed
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional for heat
Notes
Storage: Cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Make-Ahead: The turkey and tomato sauce base can be prepared up to 2 days in advance; add the artichokes and spinach just before reheating and topping with cheese. Substitutions: For a vegetarian version, omit the ground turkey and use 1 cup of cooked lentils or a plant-based ground. You can also use gluten-free breadcrumbs as a topping for extra crunch. Serving Suggestions: Serve directly from the skillet for a rustic presentation. It pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad and crusty bread for dipping into the sauce.
