Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups vegetable broth or water

1 lb ground turkey

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup feta cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

    Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

      Add Garlic and Peppers: Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peppers soften.

        Season the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the turkey is browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

          Flavor the Mixture: Stir in the smoked paprika, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the turkey with the spices.

            Add Spinach: Once the turkey is cooked through, add the chopped spinach. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

              Assemble the Bowls: To serve, place a generous scoop of quinoa in a bowl and top it with the turkey and spinach mixture.

                Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle feta cheese on top if using, and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy your Savory Turkey and Spinach Quinoa Bowl warm!
