High protein recipe: Turkey spinach casserole
Found this in my local paper. Tried it and liked it a lot. It can also be frozen and then "zapped". I used turkey but I think ground beef would work equally well.
Makes 8 servings.
1 lb ground turkey
1 onion, chopped
1 can cream of celery or cream of mushroom soup
1 lb frozen spinach
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1tsp minced garlic
2 eggs, beaten
1 lb shredded mozzsarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350. Brown ground turkey and onion, then drain. Stir in soup and bring to a simmer. blanch spinach until tender and then drain. Add salt, pepper, garlic and eggs to spinach and mix well. Lightly coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. spread meat mixture on the bottom of the dish. top with spinach mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 25 to 30 minutes til cheese is melted. 342 calories per serving, 26 grams of protein.

Your Turkey/Spinach casserole was a real life saver.� I froze most of it in individual servings and plan to nuke them as needed.
Here is the Tex-Mex version I told you I was going to try.� Hope you don't think I'm ripping off your recipe, even though I sort of am.� I'm thinking of an Italian version...will let you know how that goes.
