Joe's Special

I cooked this on Sunday, it was a one pot easy dish that all but our Spinach hater loved. I found it in the 'Favorite Brand Name Low-Carb Recipe'. Recipes from the book are at http://www.fbnr.com. To start with, I used turkey instead of beef and egg substitute. I imagine I could have made it a fair bit lower on the calories and fat if I had had some Low Fat Parmesan cheese to try instead, but alas, I did not.

1 pound lean ground turkey
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 small chopped onion
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 cup egg substitute
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Spray large skillet with cooking spray. Brown ground turkey, mushrooms and onion 6 to 8 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring to separate meat. Add Worcestershire, oregano, nutmeg, garlic powder and salt. Drain off excess liquid.

2. Drain spinach, and squeeze out some of the excess liquid; stir into meat mixture. Push mixture to one side of pan. Reduce heat to medium. Pour in egg substitute into other side of pan; cook, without stirring, 1 to 2 minutes or until set on bottom. Lift eggs to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath. Repeat until softly set. Gently stir into meat mixture and heat through. Top with cheese.
