INGREDIENTS

4 oz ground turkey (93% lean)

0.5 cup egg whites

1 large egg

0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh spinach

0.5 cup red bell pepper

0.25 cup yellow onion

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish or 6-inch ramekin with a touch of olive oil.

• 2

  Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper until softened, roughly 4 minutes.

• 3

  Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, and cook until fully browned and no longer pink.

• 4

  Stir in the fresh spinach and cook just until wilted, then remove the skillet from the heat to cool slightly.

• 5

  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the large egg, egg whites, non-fat Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and aerated.

• 6

  Fold the sautéed turkey and vegetable mixture into the egg batter until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

• 7

  Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is firm and the edges are beautifully golden brown.

• 8

  Remove from the oven and let the protein cake rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges to serve.
