1 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (no anchovies)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 small cup diced tomatoes
1 small cup shredded lettuce or romaine

Toss red potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp garlic powder. Roast for 18–20 minutes until crispy
Season meat with Worcestershire, remaining garlic/onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into patties and cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink
Meanwhile, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, and red onion to create sauce
Assemble bowls: Layer lettuce at the base, top with roasted potatoes, then meat patty, diced tomatoes, pickles, black beans, and a dollop of yogurt sauce

For a plant-based option, swap meat for crumbled tempeh or quinoa
Use a stovetop grill pan for a smoky meat texture
Sauce can be doubled and stored in an airtight container for 3 days
Roast potatoes in advance and refrigerate for meal prep efficiency
