I've also had time to go through some of my recipes and pick some different things to show you all on the blog. Casseroles do tend to get old, am I right?
How about a healthy burger today?
Yep.
I used 'healthy' and 'burger' in the same sentence.
Trust me.
You'll love these.
I found and pinned this recipe months ago from SparkPeople and had only tried it once before making it last week. The first time I made this recipe, I used the frying pan method in the directions. This time I used my Foreman gill** and it worked much better for me. I don't like the idea of popping grease with a kiddo running around, but that's just me.
Turkey Salsa Burger
Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground turkey
2/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I used Italian)
4 tbsp. chunky salsa (I used Mild)

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and salt and pepper to taste.

Divide into four patties.
Spray a frying pan down with cooking spray and cook over medium heat until thoroughly cooked; flipping once about half way through, about ten minutes.
**When using the George Foreman grill, I sprayed the grill down with cooking spray and cooked two at a time for the same length of time, flipping at the five minute mark. Grill times may vary. Mine is older than Moses.
I served these on regular hamburger buns because I didn't get to the bakery section in time to get the "good stuff". :( I always try to serve whole wheat or whole grain when I make things that require a bun. It just tastes better to me and it's healthier.
I also served these with a pasta salad, making me feel like we were already in spring, and thus making me feel better about the weather for the duration of the evening. Then, it snowed. Again.
I think these would be great with avocado or pico de gallo on top. Even your traditional lettuce and tomato would be great. I ate mine with a smattering of ketchup and mustard. The hubby ate his with ranch because I was out of mayo by the time I finished the pasta salad. Oops! He said the ranch was good though!
