1 egg

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bowl:

4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and kale)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cucumber, sliced

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

For the Dressing:

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh herbs (optional: dill or parsley)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Burger Patties:

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey (or beef), breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

      Form the Patties:

        Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

          Cook the Patties:

            Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest.

              Prepare the Bowl:

                In 4 large bowls, arrange a base of mixed greens. Top each bowl with equal portions of cherry tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, shredded carrots, and red onion.

                  Make the Dressing:

                    In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add fresh herbs if desired.

                      Assemble:

                        Place a cooked burger patty on top of the prepared bowls. Drizzle the dressing over everything.

                          Serve:

                            Serve immediately and enjoy your colorful, healthy burger bowl!
