• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 16 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 2 Tbsps Worcestershire sauce
• 2 lbs ground turkey
• 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 eggs

Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pu a large frying pan on medium heat. Add olive oil. Add onion, garlic, and spices. Sauté about 5 minutes.

Add spinach and Worcestershire sauce and stir. Sauté for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool a bit.
