  • 1 cup (120 g) rice flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 6 tbsp warm water
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Sweet corn, fresh or frozen
  • Bell peppers, assorted colors, diced
  • Cucumbers, sliced thin
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, parsley)
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground turkey or chicken
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) oat flour (for patties)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) canned coconut milk
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups (300 g) mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Almond-free nut butter alternative or seed butter (like sunflower seed butter)
  • Gluten-free hamburger buns or lettuce wraps (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Allergen-Free Buns: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix oat flour, rice flour, baking powder, and sea salt in a large bowl. Whisk ground flaxseed with warm water and let sit 5 minutes until gel-like. Add olive oil, coconut yogurt, and flaxseed mixture to dry ingredients; stir until just combined. Form 6-8 small round buns on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 18-22 minutes until golden and springy; cool completely before slicing.
  2. Make the Grilled Veggie Salad: Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Brush halved cherry tomatoes, diced bell peppers, and corn with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill veggies 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender. Transfer to bowl; toss with chopped herbs, sliced cucumbers, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar.
  3. Prepare the Turkey Patties: Combine ground turkey, oat flour, coconut milk, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix gently and form into 6 patties. Grill or pan-fry over medium heat 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and browned.
  4. Whip Up the Avocado Dressing: Blend ripe avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add water a tablespoon at a time if too thick. Use as sauce for patties or drizzle over salad.
  5. Make the Berry Compote Dessert: Combine mixed berries, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat 8-10 minutes until berries break down and sauce thickens. Let cool; serve over coconut yogurt or allergen-free ice cream.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Slice buns and layer with turkey patties, grilled veggies, and avocado dressing. Serve salad on the side and finish with berry compote for dessert. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days.

Notes

Avoid overmixing bun dough to keep buns tender. Let dough rest 10 minutes before shaping. Brush grill pan with oil before heating to prevent sticking. Flip turkey patties only once for better hold. Add water gradually to avocado dressing to adjust consistency. Stir berry compote occasionally to prevent burning; add water if too thick. Buns and compote can be made a day ahead and stored in airtight containers.
