Print Recipe

A vibrant and nutritious bowl that combines all the flavors of a classic hamburger in a lighter, healthier version.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey or beef
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups lettuce, chopped
  • 1 avocado, diced

  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Your choice of condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise)

Instructions

  1. Prep the cauliflower rice: If using frozen, prepare according to package instructions. If fresh, pulse florets until rice-sized. Heat olive oil in a skillet, add cauliflower rice, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Cook the ground turkey or beef: Push cauliflower rice to the side, add more oil, and cook the meat until browned, seasoning with salt and pepper; should take about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Prepare the toppings: Halve cherry tomatoes, slice onions, wash lettuce, and dice avocado, adding lemon juice to prevent browning.
  4. Assemble the bowl: Start with cauliflower rice, add cooked protein, then layer with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, avocado, and pickles.
  5. Add finishing touches: Top with cheddar cheese if desired and drizzle with condiments.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add jalapeños. To keep it vegan, substitute ground meat with lentils and use vegan cheese.
