Servings: 4

Ingredients

Burger patties:

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/2 cup grated onion
  • 2 Tbsps chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves pressed
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper or to taste

Bowls:

  • 4 heaping cups of chopped greens of choice I used arugula
  • 8 oz mozzarella balls/ pearls
  • 1 medium red onion sliced into rings
  • 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 raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsps dried oregano
  • 1-2 fresh garlic cloves pressed
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

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!
