8 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
1 pound ground turkey or beef
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
For The Special Sauce
1/2 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt (sub mayo to make dairy-free or whole30 compliant)
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
For The Bowls
4 cups frozen cauliflower rice
1 1/2 cup shredded lettuce, optional
1 large tomato, diced
1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
Instructions
- Make meat: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Reserve ¼ cup diced onion for garnish. Add the remaining red onion, mushrooms and turkey or beef to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon until the meat is cooked through and the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce over the meat and stir to incorporate. Remove from the heat.
- Make Special Sauce: Whisk yogurt, ketchup, vinegar, relish, mustard and celery salt in a small bowl.
- Assemble Bowls: Heat cauliflower rice according to package instructions. Divide cauliflower rice among four shallow bowls. Top with the meat, dividing evenly. Garnish with lettuce, tomato, pickles and the reserved red onion.
- Add Sauce and Serve: Drizzle sauce over the burger bowls and serve.
Notes
Make Ahead and Reheating Instructions:
The meat and dressing can be made up to four days in advance. Keep separate. To reheat the meat and cauliflower rice, portion them into a bowl and microwave for two minutes or until steaming hot. Alternatively, you can heat the meat on the stovetop with a little broth or water. Heat until steaming hot. Assemble as directed.
