Description
A vibrant, customizable healthy burger bowl featuring juicy ground turkey, crisp vegetables, and a special sauce, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons olive oil – plus more for cooking
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup avocado mayo
- 2 tablespoons ketchup (try Primal Kitchen)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice or apple cider vinegar
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
- 1/3 cup sliced red onion
- 1/3 cup sliced pickles
- 1/3 cup cooked, chopped bacon (optional but highly recommended)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Make the burgers: Combine the ground turkey, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until just combined but do not overwork the meat. Shape into patties.
- Heat a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the turkey patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Make the special burger sauce: In a separate small bowl, mix the avocado mayo, ketchup, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika or chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Assemble the burger bowls: In large bowls, start with the romaine lettuce as the base. Layer with the cooked turkey patties, cherry tomatoes, red onion, pickles, and bacon, if using. Drizzle generously with the special sauce and finish with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
Notes
Feel free to customize each bowl with different toppings and vegetables to suit individual tastes.
