- 1 large avocado, quartered and diced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
Homemade Italian Dressing:
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsps apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsps freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 Tbsps finely chopped fresh parsley

- 2 tsps dried oregano
- 1-2 fresh garlic cloves, pressed
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp sea salt

Instructions
For the dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of your dressing ingredients really well. Taste test, then adjust to your preferences. Set aside.
- Be sure to whisk your dressing once again immediately before serving.
For your burger patties:
- In a medium bowl, stir all the ingredients for the patties and combine everything really well.
- Divide your turkey mixture equally into four. Shape each portion into a patty that's about 3'' wide as shown in the video.
- Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor grill over medium heat. Grill your burger patties, turning once, until grill marks appear and are no longer pink in the center, around 5-7 minutes per side.
- Once fully cooked, prepare your bowls.
To assemble your bowls:
- Place a heaping cup of greens into each serving bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients by dividing them equally between each bowl.
- Top each bowl with your grilled burger patty.
- Drizzle each bowl with 2 Tablespoons of your homemade Italian dressing, and serve!
- Enjoy!
