Ingredients
  

1 pound lean ground turkey or chicken

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup chopped spinach

½ cup diced bell peppers (any color)

½ cup diced red onion

1 avocado, sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt (for dressing)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or cilantro)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Burger Mix: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey/chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

    Cook the Patties: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Form the meat mixture into patties (about 4-5) and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

      Compose the Bowl: In serving bowls, place a scoop of cooked quinoa as the base. Layer on the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, diced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes.

        Add the Patties: Slice the cooked patties into halves or quarters and place them on top of the veggies in each bowl.

          Garnish and Dress: Add sliced avocado on top and drizzle with Greek yogurt mixed with lemon juice for a creamy dressing. Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.

            Serve and Enjoy: Mix everything together before enjoying, or savor each layer separately!
