The base of this bowl is cooked quinoa, topped with fried ground turkey and snow peas before serving. The meat topping is fried with pumpkin pie spice, which imbues it with a warm, sweet-spicy flavor that contrasts beautifully with the refreshing richness of finely chopped parsley, mint, and pomegranate seeds. Toasted pine nuts add texture and even more flavor. This bowl is a perfect balance of not only flavors but also healthy carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and essential dietary fiber.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Cook the quinoa according to package directions; fluff with a fork. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, toast the pine nuts until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring, until softened and golden, about 7 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, ground turkey, garlic, pumpkin pie spice, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until it begins to brown and is completely darkened, 3 to 4 minutes.

  3. Add another 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the peas to the pan. Cook, stirring, until bright green and crisp-tender, 1-2 minutes. Add the pine nuts and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Toss the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the quinoa and season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the quinoa and turkey among plates. Sprinkle with mint, parsley, and pomegranate seeds.
