Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
While the meat is cooking, prepare the vegetables and other toppings: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, chop the romaine lettuce, slice the red onion, and quarter the hard-boiled eggs.
Once the meat is cooked, drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
Assemble the bowls: Start by arranging a bed of chopped romaine lettuce in each bowl.
Divide the cooked meat evenly among the bowls, placing it on top of the lettuce.
Top each bowl with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, grated cheddar cheese, sliced pickles, avocado slices, and hard-boiled egg quarters.
Drizzle mustard and ketchup over the top as desired or serve on the side as dipping sauces.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your high protein deconstructed burger bowl!
