Ingredients

• 1 cup steel-cut oats
• 4 cups water
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 medium onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground sage
• 0.5 teaspoon ground thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0 as needed olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Start by bringing 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.

Step 2

Add in 1 cup of steel-cut oats and 1 bay leaf. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

While the oats are cooking, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the turkey is browned and the onion is soft, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Season the turkey mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon of ground sage, 0.5 teaspoons of ground thyme, and 0.25 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Mix well.

Step 6

Once the oats have absorbed most of the water and are fully cooked, remove the bay leaf. Stir the seasoned turkey mixture into the pot with the oats and combine thoroughly.

Step 7

Continue simmering on low heat, stirring often, for another 20-30 minutes until the mixture is thick and well combined.

Step 8

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with olive oil. Pour the goetta mixture into the pan and press down firmly to pack.

Step 9

Cover the pan with foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 10

Once set, slice the goetta into thick slices. To serve hot, spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and fry slices over medium heat until both sides are crispy, about 5 minutes per side.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat goetta with eggs or as a side to your breakfast meal.
