Ingredients

1× recipe · Makes 4 servings

  • 1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking bulgur
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking bulgur according to package directions. Keep warm, fluffing or separating it before serving. Combine 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt into a smooth sauce.

  2. Break 1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef into rough pieces and season with half of 1 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the main ingredient until it is deeply browned with no pink remaining; transfer to a plate.

  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 bell peppers, diced and 5 ounces baby spinach. Cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Return the main ingredient, remove the skillet from the heat, add the sauce, and toss until evenly coated.

  4. Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Divide the prepared base among four plates, add Turkish-style beef with tomato bulgur. Finish with 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves.
