Ground Turkey, raw153.9 g
Quinoa, cooked67.3 g
Spinach, raw100.9 g
Seeds, sesame butter, tahini41.9 g
Bell pepper, red (chopped, for color/sugar)43.7 g

Instructions

1

In a bowl, season the ground turkey with cumin, coriander, and grated garlic. Form into small, elongated kofta shapes.

2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kofta and sear until deeply browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan.

3

In the same pan, add the spinach and bell peppers. Sauté quickly until the spinach is just wilted and the peppers are tender-crisp.

4

Whisk the tahini with a squeeze of lemon juice, a splash of warm water, and a pinch of salt until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.

5

Assemble the bowl: start with a base of fluffy cooked quinoa, top with the sautéed greens and peppers, and arrange the warm kofta on top.

6

Drizzle generously with the tahini sauce and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or sumac for brightness.
