Instructions

1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, seasoning with salt, pepper, a pinch of cumin, and a dash of cinnamon. Cook until browned and caramelized, about 6-8 minutes.

2

Add the chopped dried apricots and cook for another minute until they soften slightly and release their sweetness.

3

Fold in the fresh spinach and cook just until wilted, retaining its bright green color.

4

Fluff the pre-cooked quinoa and stir into the skillet, letting it toast slightly with the turkey juices for 2-3 minutes.

5

Toast the slivered almonds in a separate small dry pan over medium heat until fragrant and golden brown, about 3 minutes.

6

To serve, mound the mixture into a wide bowl. Garnish generously with the toasted almonds and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the earthy spices. Serve warm.
