Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef or turkey (90% lean)
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder (for seasoning)
- 4 cups chopped lettuce, or alternative grains (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

- 4 fried eggs (for topping)
- ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp ketchup

Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 8–10 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
- Drain any excess fat, making sure to keep the meat juicy and flavorful.
- If you chose a grain base, cook it according to package directions, or simply chop up your lettuce.
- Prepare your toppings: slice cherry tomatoes, dill pickles, and red onion, and set them aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper until smooth.
- To assemble, layer your choice of base, followed by the flavorful ground meat, toppings, and a generous handful of cheese. Drizzle with the special sauce.
- For an added touch, top with a fried egg, slices of avocado, or crispy bacon.
