Greetings!! Wow! Is is May already??? How can this be? Summer is right around the corner! Memorial Day- the official start of summer is later this month!!! Let's get working to prepare for bathing suit season!!!!
Last week I went to Florida and had a photo shoot!!! Here are some of the pics!!! It was awesome! You can visit me on My Space to see all the pictures and videos from the trip!!! www.MySpace.com/BeckyWenner
As I promised - here is the recipe of the week! In the spirit of protein, flavor and salads - here is one of my all time favorites! Now- you can easily double or triple the recipe- and rather than cook the burgers right away- wrap them each individually in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer....then you can take them out as needed!! Or...in the alternative- you can make a bunch of burgers, leave them uncooked and put them in a tupperware in the freezer- for family feeding!!! Sometimes- I will make 3-5 burgers on a Sunday and eat them all week for lunch......I can buy a salad anywhere and throw my burger on- and lunch is ready! Enjoy!
Recipe of the Week:
Turkey burgers- so good for you...yet so bland and not appealing to the palate.....so here is a turkey burger recipe I discovered years ago- that changed my whole perspective on the turkey burger concept....I modified it to keep the flavor but lose the fat!!!
Spicy Turkey Burgers
1 1/4 pounds extra lean ground turkey
1 cup mild salsa, divided
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon chipotle-flavored hot sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Mix ground turkey, 3/4 cup salsa, shallots, cilantro, 2 tablespoons oil, hot sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper in large bowl. Shape turkey mixture into four 3 1/2- to 4-inch-diameter patties.
Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and coat pan with non stick cooking spray. Add burgers; cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low. Sauté until burgers are cooked through, about 4 minutes, turning occasionally (Time frame depends on the size of your burgers).
Serve burgers over large tossed salad topped with remaining salsa! Enjoy!!! Feel free to leave your comments! Remember - I am here if you want to talk! Just shoot me an email!!!
