Ingredients
Turkey Skewers on Spinach and Rice
Rinse turkey, pat dry and cut into cubes.
Peel onions and cut into quarters. Alternately thread meat and onions on 4 wooden skewers. Season with salt and pepper.
Trim spinach and rinse thoroughly.
Add rice to a pot with 200 ml (approximately 3/4 cup) of boiling salted water and cook, covered, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a non-stick skillet. Fry skewers until light brown on all sides over medium heat. Toast almonds briefly in another pan.
Add dripping wet spinach to a pot and cook over medium heat until wilted. Season with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg.
Drain spinach in a sieve and chop coarsely.
Mix spinach, almonds and raisins into the rice. Serve with the turkey skewers.

Healthy, because
The rice, with spinach, raisins and almonds, brings a concentrated load of "good" fatty acids, minerals and vitamins to the table. Similarities with Arabic-oriental delights are by no means coincidental: it is modelled on the classic "pilav".
Even smarter
If the weather is fine, you can also cook the turkey skewers well on the charcoal grill - then brush them with the oil beforehand.
