1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef

1 onion, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and sauté until softened and translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. If using frozen spinach, ensure it is completely thawed and pressed dry of excess liquid before adding it to the skillet.
