Made in under 20 minutes and with less than 10 ingredients, these Mediterranean turkey bowls with savory yogurt will quickly become your new go-to weeknight meal!
I feel a little silly because today is Valentine’s Day and these Mediterranean turkey bowls are not heart shaped or pink or festive in the slightest. BUT, they only take 20 minutes to make which means you can whip them up for your sweetheart tonight and spend the rest of the night snuggling on the couch watching your favorite rom-com.
Or you can add them to next week’s meal plan because I know you need a 20 minute dinner in your life. Trust me, I do too.
Ok, let’s talk turkey.
To many, ground turkey is bland and boring; but if I am being honest, that is why I like it so much! It serves as a blank canvas that can take on any flavor. And we’re all here for the flavor, right?!
To give this turkey some flavaaaa I added a little oregano, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Simple spices that make an impact.
If you’re still experimenting with your own food freedom and reintroducing foods after Whole30, adding some plain Greek yogurt to these Mediterranean turkey bowls is a great way to do so! I added about a 1/4 cup to each bowl, drizzled on a healthy amount of olive oil and sprinkled with fresh mint, salt, and pepper.
Again, simple allergy-friendly ingredients that make an impact.
And these wouldn’t be true Mediterranean bowls without tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives (the brininess is perfect against the creaminess of the yogurt), fresh mint, and a squeeze of lemon juice!
Dig in!!
I hope these Mediterranean Turkey Bowls with Savory Yogurt make their way onto your table soon, whether you are reintroducing foods post-Whole30 or exploring your food freedom! If you make this recipe, remember to tag @imhungrybynature on Instagram!
