Baked Egg with Spinach

I love eggs and I love cooking with spinach so this meal is a favorite .  It's very easy to make .  It is also very healthy and only 90 calories.  I eat with with either a half of an english muffin or a piece of toast with butter.





Here's what you need to make this:

-oven safe dish with sides
-large egg
-2 cups spinach
-light cooking spray


1. pre-heat oven to 350

2 . cook spinach in a frying pan using the cooking spray until wilted (you can also add some garlic)

3. spray oven safe dish with cooking spray

4. put the spinach in the dish leaving a space in the middle






5. crack the egg so it sits in the middle of the spinach


6. place dish in in oven for 15-20 min. (depending on the size of your dish you can put it on
    baking sheet so it's easier to take in and out of the oven)


Enjoy

Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers

Since I've had my daughter in July I have changed my lifestyle. I workout 5 days a week and eat a lot healthier. I am going to be sharing recipes that are low in calories and are very filling. One recipe I have recently made is spinach feta turkey burgers. I came across the recipe on greenlitebites.com. My husband and I absolutely LOVE them. We ate them on english muffins instead of buns to cut some calories and I just put tomatoes and mayo on mine.





SPINACH FETA TURKEY BURGERS


-1 lb lean ground turkey
-1 cup quick Oats
-2 large egg whites
-10 oz frozen chopped spinach
-1/2 cup crumbled feta 

Preheat oven to 375 

The first thing you need to do is prep the spinach. If you don’t have a 10oz package defrosted simply put it in a strainer and run it under water. It will defrost in no time.

Once it’s defrosted, squeeze as much liquid as you can out and add it and the rest of the ingredients to a bowl.

Combine using your hands. Don’t overwork, just mix it until all the ingredients merge.

Form into 8 patties


Place patties on a greased baking tray.

Cook for 25-30 min.
