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 :)

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
