Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground turkey Organic preferred
  • 1 cup quinoa Can substitute bulgur
  • 1 cucumber, diced Use diced cucumber to add crunch
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved Adds sweetness
  • 1 red onion, diced Can use white onion as a budget option
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled Can be eaten straight from the package
  • 1/2 cup olives, pitted and sliced Black or green, based on preference
  • 2 tbsp olive oil Extra virgin for a posh touch
  • 1 lemon, juiced Brightens up the dish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the quinoa in cold water to remove its natural bitterness.
  2. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup quinoa with 2 cups water. Bring it to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
  3. While the quinoa cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the turkey to the skillet, breaking it up into chunks, and brown it until it's no longer pink.
  5. Once the turkey is cooked, toss in diced red onion, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
  6. Gather the cooked quinoa and start layering it into bowls, starting with quinoa, then turkey mixture, diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, olives, and feta.
  7. Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the assembled bowls and season with more salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

Serve in deep, rustic bowls with crusty bread to soak up leftover juices. Leftovers taste even better as the flavors meld together overnight.
