Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef or turkey (90% lean)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 4 cups chopped lettuce, OR 2 cups cooked quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup sliced dill pickles
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground meat, adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the meat is fully cooked through, about 8–10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  3. Slice cherry tomatoes, dill pickles, and red onion, and gather any optional toppings.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Layer the base in a bowl, followed by the cooked meat, prepped toppings, and cheese. Drizzle the sauce over everything.
  6. Optionally, top each bowl with a fried egg, bacon, or avocado slices.

Notes

Choose lean meat to keep the calorie count low and feel free to experiment with toppings.
