Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 4 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- 0.5 cup dill pickle slices
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until fully browned, breaking it up into crumbles, about 7-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the low-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to create the dressing. Set aside.
Wash and tear the romaine lettuce into bite-size pieces. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and dice the cucumber.
To assemble the bowls, distribute the cooked quinoa evenly among four bowls.
Top the quinoa with the lettuce, cooked turkey mixture, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and dill pickle slices.
Drizzle each bowl with the yogurt dressing, and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, deconstructed burger bowl!
