Sloppy Joe Shirred Eggs With Spinach image

Swap out the sugar in standard sloppy joes for the carrots and caramelized onions in this turkey version, then nestle in eggs on mounds of garlicky spinach.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium carrot, top removed and cut into about 6 pieces
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, or 2 scant cups roughly chopped fresh tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
3 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces fresh spinach (4 cups packed)
3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 pound ground turkey
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup R-Rated Onions
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 large eggs Parmigiano Reggiano, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Combine the carrot, tomatoes plus their juice, and 1 cup water in a blender. Blitz till it's as smooth as your blender allows.
  • In an ovenproof 12-inch sauté pan or skillet set over medium heat, cook 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the minced garlic. Watch for the garlic to start sizzling, then stir in the spinach and ½ teaspoon of the salt. Continue stirring for a minute, until all the spinach is wilted. Remove it from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the final tablespoon olive oil to the pan, raise the heat to medium, and add the turkey plus 1 teaspoon salt. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, break the turkey up into small morsels as it browns. When you have browned turkey, add the cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate, toasting the spices for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the carrot-tomato mixture, the R-Rated Onions, vinegar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Let this cook for about 15 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. You may need to lower the heat to prevent Joe from sticking or splattering. When the ragout is done it will be thick and juicy. If it seems too dry, stir in a little water. Taste the ragout for seasoning and adjust as you like.
  • Turn the heat off and make four indentions in the ragout. Divide the spinach and put equal amounts in each indentation. Top each section of spinach with a cracked egg. Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Slide the skillet onto the middle rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are slightly runny.
  • To serve, scatter ribbons of Parmigiano Reggiano or another hard cheese over the top. If bread is your thing, this is great with toast.

I thought the spinach was a bit too much. I would probably leave it out next time.

The sloppy joe mixture was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little bit of sour cream.
