Steps

1. 1

   Begin by preheating the oven to 400°F. In a blender, combine the carrots, tomatoes with their juice, and 1 cup of water. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency based on your blender's capacity.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch ovenproof sauté pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant and sizzling. Incorporate the spinach into the pan along with ½ teaspoon of salt, stirring continuously until the spinach wilts completely. Take the spinach out of the pan and keep it aside for later use.

3. 3

   Increase the heat to medium and pour in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the ground turkey into the pan along with a teaspoon of salt. Break up the turkey into small pieces using a spatula or wooden spoon while it cooks. Once the turkey is browned, introduce the cumin, paprika, and black pepper into the pan. Stir well to blend all ingredients together and allow the spices to toast for approximately 30 seconds.
