Ingredients

• 1/4 cup finely grated English cucumbers
• 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 garlic clove (finely grated)
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
• 1 lb 98% lean ground chicken or 99% lean ground turkey
• 1/2 small red onion (finely chopped)
• 2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
• 1/2 cup packed fresh baby spinach (finely chopped)
• 1/4 cup chopped julienne cut sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (plus additional for garnish)
• 1 tbsp reduced fat crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• Non-stick cooking spray
• 6 cups mixed greens
• 1 pint rainbow cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 small English cucumber (washed and chopped)
• 1/4 cup no salt added chickpeas
• 1/4 cup reduced fat crumbled feta cheese
• Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Method

1. 1Wrap the grated cucumber in cheesecloth or a thin towel and squeeze out some of the excess liquid.
2. 2In a small bowl, stir together the cucumber, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, black pepper, dill and mint. Chill until you're ready to serve.
3. 3In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with the red onion, garlic, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, feta, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper and red pepper flakes, and mix well. Form 6 patties about 1/2 inch thick and press a thumbprint into the center of each.
4. 4Heat the grill to medium-high (around 375–400°F) and lightly oil the grate. Grill the patties for 10 minutes total, flipping at the halfway mark (5 minutes a side). Rest them 5 minutes off the heat.
5. 5To build the bowls, divide 1 cup mixed greens among 6 bowls or meal-prep containers, then share out the tomatoes, onion, cucumber and chickpeas. Drizzle with the tzatziki and scatter feta over the top (keep the dressing separate if you're meal-prepping). Add pepper to taste, set a burger on top, and serve.

Tips for GLP-1 appetites

• Gentle-day friendly — this is a safe pick even when your stomach is sensitive after a dose.
• Go lighter on the strong aromatics (garlic, onion, spice rub) if smells are a trigger right now.
• At 24g of protein a serving, this alone gets you a meaningful chunk of the way to a daily 80–120g protein target.
