Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef or turkey (90% lean)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • 4 cups chopped lettuce OR 2 cups cooked quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup sliced dill pickles
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 strips cooked bacon (optional)
  • Jalapeño slices (optional)
  • 4 fried eggs (optional)
  • ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground meat. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until cooked through, about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess fat for a leaner option.
  2. If using grains, cook quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice according to package instructions while the meat cooks. If using lettuce, chop it and set aside.
  3. Prepare toppings: slice the cherry tomatoes, pickles, red onion, and any optional add-ins.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth to create the burger sauce.
  5. Assemble your bowls: start with the base of chopped lettuce or grains, layer on the seasoned meat, then top with tomatoes, pickles, onion, cheese, and other desired toppings.
  6. Drizzle the sauce over the assembled bowls for extra flavor.
  7. For optional toppings, add a fried egg, strips of crispy bacon, or slices of avocado for an even heartier meal.

Notes

Customize each bowl with your favorite toppings and bases. Consider using different proteins or cheese for variation.
