3 (142 g) pkgs baby spinach

710 ml chicken or vegetable broth

1.02 kg ground turkey

1 small bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

425 g orzo pasta

85 g Parmesan cheese

½ medium red onion

extra virgin olive oil

Italian seasoning

Instructions

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

While the pot heats up, peel, halve, and mince onion.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add onion, turkey, and spices; cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 5-6 minutes.

Add broth, tomato sauce, and orzo to the pot; stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is mostly absorbed and orzo is desired firmness, 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, finely grate Parmesan. Place in a small bowl.

Wash, dry, and shave parsley leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Add to the bowl with the Parmesan, stir to combine, and set aside.

Wash and dry spinach (skip this step if it came pre-washed).

When the orzo is done, add spinach to the pot in handfuls, waiting for it to wilt slightly before adding the next handful.

Add half of the Parmesan-parsley mixture to the pot and stir to combine. Remove from heat. (Reserve remaining Parmesan mixture for serving.)

To serve, divide orzo between plates or bowls; top with reserved Parmesan mixture. Enjoy!
