Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Lean ground turkey (93% or 99% lean)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups Chopped romaine lettuce or baby spinach
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 large Cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup Feta cheese crumbles (optional)
- Pickle slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to mix the seasonings evenly through the meat, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned turkey to the pan. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small crumbles as it cooks. Sauté for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the turkey is fully browned and cooked through with no pink remaining.
- While the turkey is cooking, wash and chop your lettuce or spinach. Divide the greens evenly among four large bowls. This creates a crisp, fresh base for your warm turkey protein.
- Top each bed of greens with a portion of the cooked turkey. Arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and avocado slices around the meat. Sprinkle with feta cheese and add a few pickle slices on top for that authentic burger feel.
