Turkey Burgers

Jim has not eaten red meat in over two years so I have to get creative for some of my favorite comfort meals. This recipe comes from the weight watchers cookbook and it was fantastic! The burgers would also be great as meatballs or meatloaf. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Turkey Burgers

• 3/4 lb ground turkey
• 2 green onions chopped
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/3 cup Monterrey jack cheese

1. Mix the first six ingredients in a bowl. Blend in the cheese. (I opted to top the burgers with cheese instead).
2. Form into four patties (mine made three)
3. I grilled mine on the BBQ but you could cook them in a frying pan.
4. Cook until done (roughly three-four minutes per side).
5. Serve on hamburger buns with lettuce and tomato.

Tortilla-Lime Chopped Salad

• 5 leaves of Napa Cabbage
• 8 leaves of Romaine Lettuce
• 1/4 c. Tomato Basil Feta Cheese (I used regular because I had some to use-up).
• 1/4 Tomato chopped
• 1/2 Avocado chopped
• 1/4 c. Crushed Tortilla Chips
• 2 Limes, Juiced.
• 1/4 Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1/8 t. Kosher Salt
• 1/8 t. Pepper
• 1/8 t. Garlic Powder
• Pinch of Sugar

1. Thinly Slice Napa Cabbage and Romaine into strips.
2. In a large bowl add the lettuces, feta, tomato and avocado.
3. In a separate bowl combine the lime juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sugar. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil until well combined.
4. Toss over Salad and top with crushed tortilla chips.
