Ingredients
  

1 lb lean ground turkey or chicken

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)

1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cups mixed greens (spinach, kale, arugula)

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup feta cheese (optional)

1/4 cup low-fat Greek yogurt (for dressing)

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey or chicken with diced bell peppers, red onion, garlic, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

    Form the mixture into small patties (about 4-6, depending on your desired size).

      Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and drizzle with a little olive oil. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.

        While the patties are cooking, prepare the dressing by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.

          In serving bowls, layer the mixed greens as the base, followed by a generous scoop of cooked quinoa.

            Top with the cooked burger patties, slices of avocado, cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle with feta cheese if desired.

              Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the top and enjoy!
