Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
2 cups cottage cheese (creamed or blended)
1 red onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cucumber, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
In a bowl, mix ground turkey with garlic, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper
Form turkey into 4 equal patties and bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway
Meanwhile, combine cottage cheese with olive oil, garlic powder, lemon zest, and parsley; adjust seasoning
Divide baked turkey patties into bowls, top with fresh vegetables and creamy cottage cheese mixture
Notes
For a lighter alternative, serve turkey with plain cottage cheese and skip added oil
Add any seasonal vegetables (avocado, bell pepper, spinach work well)
Store turkey patties in airtight container for up to 4 days; cottage cheese mixture best used fresh
Scale ingredients easily for larger batches by maintaining 1/4 lb turkey per bowl
