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