Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring the water or broth to a boil. Stir in the quinoa, lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey, season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, toss cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and parsley. Add the remaining olive oil and lemon juice, mixing gently to coat.
- Assemble each bowl by layering quinoa, turkey, and the vegetable mix. Top with feta if using, and drizzle extra olive oil if desired. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave and refresh with a splash of lemon juice or olive oil.
