Before You Start
Cube the summer squash, warm the rice, and mince the garlic so everything moves smoothly once the pan is going.
How To Make It
- Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium and cook the ground turkey with the garlic and sage, breaking it up, 6 to 8 minutes, until no pink remains and it reaches 165°F in the center, then spoon off the fat so the dish does not go greasy.
- Add the summer squash and cook, stirring, 5 to 6 minutes, until it softens and picks up a little color.
- Add the spinach and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes, until it wilts down.
- Fold everything together and warm through, about 2 minutes, until heated evenly.
- Spoon over the warm rice and serve.
Fix It: If the squash falls apart into mush, it cooked a touch long; fold it in gently at the end so it keeps some shape.
Microwave
- Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
- Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
- Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
