Mexican Turkey Spinach Casserole is low fat and full of protein! This recipe is gluten free, and would work as an "E" dish on the Trim Healthy Mama plan.



Mexican Turkey Spinach Casserole is a yummy, family-friendly dish that is both gluten free and low fat. It can be put together ahead of time on a busy day, then just popped in the oven. You can even assemble this casserole and freeze it!

While I love to make elaborate meals, I have three children who keep me running. There are plenty of nights when I need to keep dinner very simple! Those are the nights I often put casseroles on my menu plan.

I have been trying (roughly) to follow the [easyazon_link identifier=”0988775115″ locale=”US” tag=”survthestor-20″]Trim Healthy Mama[/easyazon_link] eating plan. This recipe for Mexican Turkey Spinach Casserole was created when I decided to adapt another recipe to be “E” meal friendly (low fat, high protein, moderate carbs.)

The cream cheese and taco seasoning combine with spinach and tomatoes to make a nice sauce for the turkey. I like to steam brown rice in a [easyazon_link identifier=”B007WQ9YNO” locale=”US” tag=”survthestor-20″]rice cooker[/easyazon_link] to serve with Mexican Turkey Spinach Casserole. A sprinkle of cilantro on top adds the perfect final touch!
