Turkey burgers?

Last night I tried a new turkey burger recipe. All in all it was pretty good. The kids ate most of it, but I have to say that nothing tops a ground sirloin burger. I did go all out on keeping the dinner healthy with all natural ground turkey on a whole wheat bun with a slice of sharp cheddar, and then steamed broccoli on the side.

The kids actually liked the broccoli more than the burger, which was surprising. Below is the recipe I used to make the turkey burgers:

1 pound ground turkey
1 egg
1 tbsp bread crumbs
1 tsp minced garlic
1 splash of worchteshire
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1 sprinkle each of seasoning salt, salt, pepper, and chili powder

Mix and form into patties. I fried them in my grill pan with a little canola oil.

Now for the toppings, since let's face it can make or break a burger, I added a little mayo, lettuce, ketchup, and pickled jalepenos-YUMM.

If I was not making these kid friendly, I would have diced up the jalepenos and added then right into the burger mix!

I do think I will try these again, and next time experiment with different spices and may be some fresh herbs, like Cilantro, and fresh parsley.

In other news, I have been feeling a little better this week. I am really trying to stay focused on the positive things, and remember that things are out of my control now, so I need to just go with it. Its easier said than done, but I am really trying to live by this!

-Peace out!
