• Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
• To a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
• Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. 
• Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

• Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
• While the pan heats, thinly slice parsley stems.
• To a medium bowl, add beef, parsley stems and half the garlic salt. Season with pepper, then combine.
• Form mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties (8 patties for 4 servings).
• When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl until melted.
• Add beef patties. Pan-fry for 3-4 min per side, until cooked through.** 
• Remove from heat. Transfer patties to a plate.

• Meanwhile, cut half the lemon (use whole lemon for 4 servings) into wedges.
• Roughly chop parsley.
• Roughly chop spinach.
• Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.

• When patties are done, with the pan still off heat, stir in cream cheese, half the tikka sauce (use all for 4 servings) and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water.
• Return the pan to medium. Bring to a simmer, stirring often to combine.
• Once simmering, stir in tomatoes. Simmer for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
• Add spinach. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until wilted.
• Season with pepper and remaining garlic salt.

• Return beef patties to the pan. Gently stir to warm through, 1 min. (TIP: If sauce gets too thick, add water, 1 tbsp at a time, until you reach desired consistency.)
• Season with salt and pepper.

• Add half the parsley to the pot with rice, then fluff with a fork. (TIP: Add 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] butter, then fluff until melted, if desired.)
• Divide parsley rice between plates. 
• Spoon sauce over rice. Top with beef patties.
• Sprinkle with remaining parsley. 
• Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.

If you've opted to get beef, prep and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook the turkey.**
