Burger Bowl

Benefit: High-protein, grounding, stabilizes blood sugar, eases PMS symptoms, reduces cravings.

Phase: Luteal/ Menstrual

This turkey burger bowl is a perfect late-luteal meal — warm, grounding, and high in protein to keep your blood sugar stable and cravings calm. With greens for bloating, sweet potatoes for hormone support, and customizable sauces (because luteal = flavor cravings), this bowl gives you steady energy and comfort without the crash.

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 lb ground turkey (93% lean ideal for luteal or ground beef is great for menstrual)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire (optional- not needed for ground beef)
  • 1-2 cups of shredded lettuce
  • ~3 TBSP of diced onion (your preference)
  • Optional: Diced pickles
  • Condiments: I love ketchup, mustard and 1 TBSP of mayo…this is your preference!

Note: This can easily become a taco bowl! Simply switch out the seasonings for a taco seasoning packet. I suggest a low sodium option.

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Once heated, add meat to pan cook until brown.
  3. Add seasonings
    If using ground turkey, I suggest charring the meat. This will give a closer taste to that of ground beef.
  4. While meat is cooking, dice your toppings (onion, pickles, and any other toppings you may like).
  5. Once meat is done, place over bed of lettuce.
  6. Add toppings & condiments. Enjoy!
