I add the turkey burger meat to a bowl with lots of fresh veggies and my favorite burger toppings. This is completely customizable and you can add whatever you like into your salad!
Variations of this recipe:
Use ground beef, ground pork, or ground chicken instead of ground turkey.
Add cheese into the mix if you prefer.
Add crumbled bacon into the salad.
Add boiled eggs for extra protein.
Use your favorite lettuces. I prefer the crunch of romaine here, but iceberg, mixed greens, or a combination of these would work as well.
Ways to Meal Prep this Recipe:
Cook the ground turkey in advance and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Make the dressing and store in the refrigerator.
Chop all toppings and store in separate containers in the refrigerator.
