PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small saucepan, bring the water and a pinch of sea salt to a boil.

• 2

  Whisk in the grits, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and grits are tender.

  While the grits cook, heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

• 4

  Add the ground turkey to the skillet along with the garlic powder, smoked paprika, remaining salt, and black pepper.

• 5

  Sauté the turkey, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, until it is browned and fully cooked through.

• 6

  Add the baby spinach to the turkey and stir for 1 minute until just wilted, then remove the skillet from the heat.

• 7

  Once the grits are finished, slowly whisk in the liquid egg whites and nutritional yeast, stirring constantly over low heat for 2-3 minutes until the grits become thick and creamy.

• 8

  Transfer the creamy grits to a bowl and top with the savory turkey sausage and spinach mixture.
