Ground Turkey Skillet Dinner with Spinach, Tomatoes, White Beans and Croutons

🇬🇷 Greece

Servings: 4 Prep: 15 minutes Cook: 30 minutes Total: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 2 cups crusty bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon ground fennel
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or red pepper flakes)
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 2 to 3 handfuls baby spinach
  • 2 roasted red peppers, roughly chopped
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Steps

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread cubes, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper; toast, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and mostly crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer croutons to a plate.
  2. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add onion and cook about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Add garlic, ground turkey, ground fennel, oregano, thyme, Aleppo pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Break up turkey into small pieces while cooking.
  4. Add grape tomatoes and cook about 15 minutes, until turkey is browned and tomatoes blister and start to collapse; puncture any that don't burst on their own.
  5. Add roasted red peppers, spinach, and beans. Stir until combined, heated through, and spinach has wilted.
  6. Add red wine vinegar and reserved croutons; stir to combine. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Divide into bowls or plates and serve.
