Serves 3-4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons avocado oil, divided
- ½ large onion, diced (~ 3/4 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces ground beef
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 large (or 4 small) turnips, peeled and diced
- 1 small bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 cups loosely packed spinach, roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Place large skillet over medium-high heat and allow to heat up for 2-3 minutes before adding 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Add in diced onion once oil is hot, about 1 minute.
- Sauté onion until translucent, about 4-6 minutes. Add in garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add ground beef and season with a dash of salt and pepper plus the cayenne pepper. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into bite-size pieces. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the meat is no longer pink. Transfer cooked beef and onion to a small bowl, cover, and set aside.
- Place the same skillet back over medium-high heat and add in remaining avocado oil. Allow to heat for 1 minute. Add the turnips and red bell pepper, season generously with salt, pepper, and paprika; stir to combine. Cover and let cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until turnips are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to ensure turnips don’t burn on one side.
- Add in chopped spinach and beef mixture and combine well. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the spinach to wilt and beef to warm. Drizzle with lemon juice and stir. Remove from heat.
- Serve immediately with your favorite hot sauce or salsa. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
