Ingredients
  

1 lb lean ground turkey or chicken

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup cooked quinoa

2 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, kale)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup pickles, chopped

2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt (for dressing)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or cilantro)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Turkey/Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey or chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all spices are evenly incorporated.

    Cook the Patties: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Form the meat mixture into 4 patties. Cook each patty for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest.

      Prepare the Bowl Base: In a large bowl, layer the mixed greens at the bottom. This will be your fresh base.

        Add Quinoa: Spoon the cooked quinoa evenly over the greens, providing a nutritious, filling layer.

          Slice and Add Toppings: Once the patties are ready, slice them into strips and arrange them on top of the quinoa. Add halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, avocado slices, and chopped pickles around the bowl to create a vibrant and colorful presentation.

            Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard until smooth. Drizzle this dressing over the assembled burger bowl.

              Garnish: Finish with fresh herbs of your choice for added flavor and a pop of color.
