Quick & Easy Turkey Burgers

| 0 comments

When I cook dinner, my recipes are usually based off of what we have in the fridge/pantry and what my belly is craving. Marc recently suggested burgers and I thought to myself yes I could go for burgers! To make them lighter, healthier & kid approved I quickly came up with a recipe that came together nicely.

I am always trying to sneak veggies into foods for Ava because lets face it, even the “good eaters” have a tough time getting the correct amount of veggies in on a daily basis. Although we all eat healthy I decided sneaking in some peppers would make this burger more flavorful & crunchy and that it did.

We all agreed that these were tasty and satisfying. I will definitely be making them again.

  • Chop peppers into tiny pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl add in all ingredients, mix until everything is combined. I used my hands but you can use a large spoon.
  • Form into 5 burgers. Some of the pepper pieces might fall out but you can stuff them back in.
  • Heat grill to high (about 400 degrees) cook approximately 8-10 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

These burgers are delicious served over a salad, in a lettuce wrap, on a bun or in a wrap. I don’t know about you guys but even though summer is coming to an end I will NOT stop grilling until the snow piles up over our grill :)
