Preparation Steps
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 pound of lean ground beef or turkey. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sauté for about 8–10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  2. While the meat cooks, prepare your base. Chop approximately 4 cups of lettuce or cook 2 cups of quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice.
  3. Prepare the toppings: slice 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, chop ½ cup of dill pickles, thinly slice ½ a red onion, and prepare optional add-ons.
  4. Whisk together ½ cup of low-fat Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of mustard, and 1 tablespoon of ketchup in a mixing bowl. Add garlic powder and paprika, along with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble your cheeseburger bowls by placing the base at the bottom, adding cooked meat on top, and finishing with your choice of toppings.
  6. Optionally, finish with a crispy fried egg or strips of cooked bacon for a richer meal.
