Prepare Ingredients: Finely dice one small onion and mince six cloves of garlic. Roughly chop four cups of fresh spinach and zest one lemon, setting the zest aside for later.

Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine 1.25 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, 0.5 teaspoons of red pepper flakes, 1.25 teaspoons of salt, 0.75 teaspoons of pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.

Brown Ground Turkey: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground turkey and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned.

Sauté Aromatics: Add another tablespoon of olive oil, the diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Toast Orzo: Stir in 1.5 cups of orzo pasta and toast for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Cook Orzo in Broth: Pour in 4.5 cups of chicken broth, bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes.

Add Turkey and Spinach: When the orzo is nearly al dente, stir in the cooked ground turkey and roughly chopped spinach. Cook for 30 seconds.

Incorporate Cheese and Finish: Fold in 0.66 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Drizzle lemon juice and add fresh basil before serving.
