Ingredients  

  • 1 lb turkey breasts skinless
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp sea salt divided
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 ½ cup water
  • 1 cup red cabbage shredded fine
  • ½ cup carrots shredded
  • ¾ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ avocado sliced
  • ¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped, substitute parsley

Dressing

  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • ½ tsp tamari
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉. Place the turkey breast on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil; rub the oil on both sides of the turkey and season the top with ¼ tsp sea salt and black pepper. Place in the oven to roast for 30-35 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165℉.
  • Use a sieve to rinse the quinoa under cold water; place into a small sauce pot and add the water and ¼ tsp sea salt. Turn the heat to high, cover the pot and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat down to low and simmer until all of the water has been absorbed. Remove the pot from the heat and fluff the quinoa with a fork; set aside and let cool.
  • Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl and use a fork or whisk to combine until smooth; set aside.
  • Once the turkey is fully cooked, remove from the oven and place onto a cutting board to cool. Once cool, use a knife to chop the turkey breast into cubes.
  • Divide the quinoa into two bowls or containers, top with the shredded cabbage and carrots, halved cherry tomatoes and avocado. Add the turkey breast and pumpkin seeds to the bowls.
  • Mix all dressing ingredients together and and drizzle over Power bowls. Toss lightly to combine and top with cilantro.
