This recipe is from @happy_lowcarb_mom from Instagram. I doubled her recipe and added a ton of fresh chopped spinach for some added nutrition. This is a very easy dish to make, it is VERY handy when made ahead of time, is great with added "fixins" and is low/no carb. I substituted a mixture of ground turkey and ground turkey breast to lower the fat content, and used skim milk shredded cheese to offset the eggs and heavy cream fat. The husband enjoyed this, particularly for how filling it was.
1 lb ground turkey breast
1 lb ground turkey
2 pkgs taco seasoning
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup fresh salsa
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
2 cups shredded lowfat/skim milk mexican blend cheese, divided
8 eggs (i discarded two of the yolks)
1 cup heavy cream
salt
pepper
1. In a saucepan, saute chopped onions in olive oil. Add turkey and taco seasoning. Cook until meat is cooked through, add the spinach until it wilts. Set aside to cool.
2. Whisk eggs & heavy cream together. Stir in salsa, 1 & 1/4 cup cheese, and a pinch of salt.
3. Stir taco meat into egg mixture. Pour into greased pie dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Cover and chill until ready to bake.
4. Bake at 350 for 45 - 55 minutes until brown and bubbly on top and pie has set. *Makes PLENTY for leftovers*
