  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1/2 cup diced pickles
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced olives, chopped bacon, or sliced jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef or turkey seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the sugar-free ketchup and mustard. Add a splash of pickle juice or a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor if desired.
  3. Divide shredded lettuce into individual bowls. Top with cooked ground meat, cherry tomatoes, pickles, red onion, and shredded cheese. Drizzle the sauce over the top, then add optional toppings.
  4. Mix gently before eating to combine all flavors. Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful, and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Keep the sauce separate for best freshness if storing for later.
  • Reheat cooked ground meat in a microwave or skillet before assembling for a quick reheat meal.
