Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9×9 baking dish.
Cook ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.
Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in softened cream cheese until fully melted and combined.
Let mixture cool for 5 minutes, then stir in beaten egg and ½ cup cheddar cheese.
Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and top with remaining ½ cup cheddar.
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Letting the mixture cool before adding the egg prevents scrambling.
For a crispier top, broil for the final 1-2 minutes of baking (watch closely!).
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Ground chicken can be used as a substitute for turkey.
