3. Blend almond meal with lemon juice, chopped garlic and 1 cup water until smooth. Season well with salt and pepper.
4. Heat frypan over medium heat with 1 tbsp oil. Slice turkey and mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden. Take off heat.

Toss rice with sauce, mushrooms, turkey and vegetables. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Divide rice among bowls. Top with dressed spinach.
