Ground Turkey, Brussels and Arugula Bowl

Ground Turkey, Brussels and Arugula Bowl Ingredients (serves 2):

  • 1 lb. brussels sprouts
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 lb. ground turkey breast
  • 1 lemon + 2 wedges of lemon for serving
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cracked pepper
  • 2 heaping tbsp. of freshly chopped parsley
  • a pinch of crushed red pepper (optional, or to taste)

Method:

1.  Preheat Oven to 400.

2.  Rinse Brussels well in a colander. Cut woody ends off of the brussels then cut them in half lengthwise. Spread them evenly across a cooking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tbsp. of olive oil, toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes.

4.  Now add the ground turkey and let sear for about 1 minute, then turn heat down to medium to medium-low.  Break up the meat in the pan and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat often.  Cook until turkey is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. While it is cooking, add the crushed red pepper, the salt and the pepper.  Also add the zest of about 1/2 of the lemon and the juice of 1 lemon.  When the meat is cooked through, add the fresh chopped parsley.

5. In 2 large bowls divide up evenly:  the arugula on the bottom, top with the brussels sprouts, then finish it off with the ground turkey mixture.  Serve with a wedge of lemon and extra chopped parsley if you like!  Enjoy!

  1. Such a great meal especially in a pinch! I didn’t have Brussel sprouts at home so I emphasized with broccoli I had and added about 3-3 1/2 cloves of garlic. Adjust to your taste 🙂

  2. i don’t see how much garlic to use…I mean, I’ll measure with my heart for this one, but curious how much you used? Also I am using what I have on hand, do you think frozen brussels sprouts reheated and then roasted would work? I haven’t tried that before but I’m willing to go for it…
