day 20 – turkey burgers

wellness

I love you, day 20.

Tonight I tried out turkey burgers. They were amazing. I jazzed them up a bit, added a side of sweet potato fries, and Tony and I licked our plates clean.

I have heard the rave about using turkey instead of cooking with beef but never wanted to venture out of my norm. Tonight I found a recipe on pinterest & I added my own flavor. It was so scrumptious, my mouth continues to water even though my belly is full. This was a favorite of ours and will continue to cycle through the weekly menu!

  • 7 oz. plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium lemon

  • 1 medium onion
