1. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and saut¨¦ until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the
minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook
until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add the Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and dried oregano, cooking until the spinach is wilted and any excess moisture has evaporated, about 2-3
minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Scramble the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Pour the eggs over the meat and spinach mixture in the skillet, stirring gently
to combine. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still creamy.
4. Add Cheese and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and evenly distributed. Garnish with chopped
fresh parsley if desired.
5. Enjoy: Serve Joe¡¯s Special hot, either on its own or with toasted bread for a complete meal that¡¯s both hearty and delicious!
