Instructions

1

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely grated sweet potato, chopped spinach, and raisins. Season generously with sea salt, black pepper, and a dash of soy sauce.

2

Shape the mixture into a tight log using parchment paper, wrapping it securely like a candy wrapper to ensure it holds its shape during steaming.

3

Place the log in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 40-45 minutes until the loaf is firm to the touch and cooked through.

4

While the embutido steams, prepare the white rice.

5

Once finished, remove the parchment paper. Slice the embutido into thick, beautiful rounds, revealing the vibrant speckles of spinach and sweet potato.

6

Serve the warm slices alongside a generous mound of fluffy steamed white rice. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil if desired for richness, and serve immediately.
