Taco Spiced Frittata

Sunday morning food prep for the week and I wanted a different “flair” to my egg frittata.  Thought about it for a while and decided on using ground turkey instead of bacon bits and giving the entire dish the flavor of a taco without the tortilla…The result was eaten with zest and pleasure by all.  See what you think.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces of 93% lean ground turkey
• Package of Trader Joe’s Taco seasoning (or use your own…I just wanted to make it really easy)
• 32 ounces Egg Beaters
• 1 package (7 Oz) Kraft fat free shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup salsa
• 2 cups spinach

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 pan with olive oil spray (I use my Misto) and set aside
3. Spray a frying pan with olive oil spray and add 8 oz of turkey and ½ package of taco seasoning mix
4. Brown meat stirring until just cooked throughout
5. Pour off any fat/juices from frying pan and set aside to cool slightly
6. Add egg beaters to 13 x 9x 2 pan
7. Chop spinach and add to pan along with turkey, salsa and cheese
8. Using a fork mix all into egg beaters and bake at 350 degrees until just done (center will spring back slightly)
9. Cool and then cut into 8 pieces
