Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups quinoa, precooked
  • 1 pound ground turkey sausage
  • 1 onion, diced small
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
  • 15 ounces Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 15 ounces diced tomatoes

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey sausage, crumble with a spatula, and cook until browned and nearly cooked through, about 5–8 minutes.
  2. Drain excess fat from the skillet if needed, leaving a thin film for flavor.
  3. Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet along with the Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and tomato paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and mushrooms are cooked, about 5–6 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chopped spinach and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook 2–3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and everything is heated through.
  5. Add the precooked quinoa to the skillet and toss until evenly combined and heated through.
  6. Divide the quinoa mixture into bowls and top with shredded Parmesan and red chili flakes to taste.

Notes

  • Add 1/4–1/2 cup water if the mixture seems dry while simmering.
  • Use precooked quinoa warm so it heats quickly when added.
  • Adjust red chili flakes to taste.
