Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Burgers

I am in LOVE with these burgers!  They are so flavorful and unique.  Not to mention healthier than your average burger.  Aaron's first comment after biting into his burger was, "Wow!".  I'll take that :)  I served these burgers on homemade hamburger buns with Avocado Mayo.  All these components combined to make a truly gourmet burger.  Served with a side of sweet potato fries it was the perfect dinner.


Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Burgers
slightly modified from Picky-Palate
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, jarred in olive oil, chopped into small pieces
1/2 cup fresh baby spinach leaves, chopped
Pinch of Kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper and Lawry's Garlic Salt with Parsley
Hamburger buns and fresh baby spinach for serving

Avocado Mayonnaise
1/2 cup avocado, mashed
1/4 cup mayonnaise

Mash avocado and stir together with mayo until well combined.

Or, if you prefer, try this:

Sun-Dried Tomato Mayonnaise
1 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Sun-Dried Tomatoes, packed in olive oil, drained

Chop tomatoes into small pieces then mix together with mayo until well combined.

Stove-top:
Pour oil into a large skillet over medium heat.  Place turkey, feta, sun-dried tomato, spinach and seasonings into a mixing bowl.  Mix until just combined.  Divide into 4 equally sized patty's and place onto a plate.  Once all are formed, place in hot skillet.  You may need to work in batches.  Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Indoor Grill:
Preheat grill to Sear.  Place turkey, feta, sun-dried tomato, spinach and seasonings into a mixing bowl.  Mix until just combined.  Divide into 4 equally sized patty's and place onto a plate.  Once all are formed, place burgers on the hot grill.  Close top and grill for 4-5 minutes or until cooked through.

To serve:
Spread mayo of your choice on the insides of hamburger buns, warmed if desired.  Top with burgers and baby spinach.  Enjoy :)

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
