A quick, filling, and healthy burger bowl featuring lean ground turkey, fresh veggies, and a tangy homemade yogurt sauce. Perfect for weight loss and high protein needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground turkey or chicken (93% lean preferred)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or baby kale)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ½ red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 avocado, sliced
  • Optional: shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: pickles or jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice cucumber and bell pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped onion, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey mixture, breaking it into small chunks. Cook 6-8 minutes until cooked through and browned.
  4. Whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the sauce.
  5. Divide mixed greens between serving bowls. Top with cooked turkey and arrange veggies on top.
  6. Drizzle yogurt sauce over the bowls. Add optional avocado or cheese if desired.
  7. Gently toss the bowl before serving. Enjoy immediately or pack for later.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper browning. Use fresh spices for best flavor. Let cooked meat rest briefly off heat to retain juices. Prep veggies ahead to save time. The yogurt-mustard sauce adds creaminess and tang; substitute with coconut yogurt or avocado-lime dressing for dairy-free option.
