Ingredients

• 500g lean ground turkey
• 200g quinoa, rinsed
• 400ml water or vegetable broth
• 1 large cucumber, diced
• 250g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 100g Kalamata olives, pitted
• 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the quinoa: Combine the rinsed quinoa and 400ml of water or broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. Brown the turkey: While the quinoa cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Season: Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the turkey. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, olives, and fresh parsley.
5. Assemble: Divide the cooked quinoa evenly among four containers. Top with the seasoned ground turkey and the fresh vegetable mixture.
6. Finish and store: Just before serving, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and fresh lemon juice. These bowls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Tips & Substitutions

• Make it vegetarian: Swap the ground turkey for chickpeas or lentils for a plant-based alternative.
• Add creaminess: A dollop of hummus or a sprinkle of feta cheese adds extra Mediterranean flair.
• Switch the grain: Try couscous, farro, or brown rice if you prefer a different base.
