John-burger Helper

Sometimes, I feel that the blogosphere is dominated by foodies. But I for one don't believe that food should always be pretty and proper, especially after an unplanned gut-wrenching run and core session on the eve of a tempo workout. So I present you this, my friends: John-burger Helper, a gluten-free mess of meat, starch, and deliciousness.

The ingredients? One package of Tinkyada spiral rice pasta, one pound *yes, one pound* of ground turkey meat, two medium sized tomatoes (chopped), 3/4 to 1 9-oz package of spinach, 5 cloves of garlic (diced), a dash of Italian seasoning, 2-3 tablespoons of butter, and a healthy heaping of Parmesan cheese. The recipe? Cook up the pasta, rinse it off with cold water, then set it to the side. Then, brown the ground turkey under medium heat and drain the fat. Add the tomatoes and garlic and cook for a little while, then stir in the spinach. Turn off the heat. Finally, combine the meat and veggies with the pasta and stir in the butter, cheese, and seasoning. Voila. Who said life had to be complicated?

P.S. The initial marathon training is going well. More on that later.
