Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground turkey or chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Shredded lettuce or mixed greens
- Optional toppings: feta cheese, fresh herbs, hot sauce
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until fully browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare your rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and transfer to serving bowls as the base of your Healthy Hamburger Bowls.
- Layer the cooked protein over the grains. Top with cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced avocado, and shredded greens. Add optional toppings like feta cheese or herbs for extra flavor.
- Finish with a drizzle of dressing or hot sauce. Serve immediately while fresh and flavorful.
Notes
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep proteins, grains, and toppings separate for maximum freshness. Reheat proteins in a skillet or microwave before assembling.
- Customize your bowls with sliced olives, pickled jalapeños, or shredded cheese for different flavor profiles.
