Healthy Turkey Roasted Veggie Quinoa Bowl
I love how great I feel when I make this recipe. It's packed with majorly healthy ingredients and is one of my favorite go-to weeknight meals right now.
Ingredients
Quinoa Bowl Ingredients
- 8 Brussels Sprouts cleaned, trimmed and sliced lengthwise
- 2 servings about 6 ounces of Broccoli, trimmed into bite-sized pieces
- 1 Beet I like the golden beet
- Half a Red Onion sliced into large pieces
- 2 Garlic Cloves sliced
- 3 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil divided
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried Basil Leaves
- 1 teaspoon of Mrs. Dash salt-free seasoning
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 8 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
- 1 cup of Quinoa
- 1-2 tablespoons of Lemon Zest Vinaigrette
- Finishing Salt optional (basically a high quality sea salt here)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and then finish prepping all of your veggies. Place all of the veggies (sprouts, broccoli, onion, beets, and garlic) into a large bowl and drizzle 2 tablespoons of EVOO over the top. Add the basil, Mrs. Dash seasonings, salt and pepper to the veggies, and then stir to combine really well.
- Lay a Silpat on a rimmed baking sheet and then pour the seasoned veggies into a single layer on the tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the veggies are starting to caramelize and are tender but not mushy.
- When the vegetables have about 5-10 minutes left, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil to it. Then add 8 ounces of lean ground turkey plus salt and pepper for seasoning to it. Break up the turkey into bite-sized pieces, stir and let it cook stirring every 2 minutes or until the turkey has started to brown.
- Once the veggies are done, remove them from the oven and divide them into 2 portions. Split the turkey between the 2 portions.
- In your individual bowls, add 1/2 cup of quinoa and then 1 portion of the veggies and turkey. Top with 1-2 tablespoons of the lemon zest vinaigrette and a sprinkling of finishing salt and serve right away. Enjoy!
Notes
Quick Tip: Change this up by adding your favorite proteins - chicken or fish would be great. And also play around with veggies and textures to create your favorite bowl.
