Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 pound lean ground turkey
3 cups fresh spinach

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes and juice

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (non-iodized salt, Diamond, or Mortons brands)

Preheat oven to 425.

In a large skillet, heat the grape seed oil over medium heat. Brown the ground turkey until cooked through and no longer pink. Add the spinach and stir until wilted.
