- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

Instructions
- Mix the ground turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until well incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the patties for approximately 5-6 minutes on each side, ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

- If desired, add a drizzle of tzatziki sauce and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Notes
- For an extra twist, consider folding in some finely chopped spinach or kale into the turkey mixture before cooking.
- You can swap the tzatziki sauce for a light homemade yogurt dressing.
