Happy Friday, Bethany!As we enter into the last few weeks of summer and we pack in all those last-minute summer activities, I wanted to share another go-to recipe of ours: Grilled Turkey Burgers. Shout out to my father-in-law, Frank, for making these for us, like, 10 years ago 🤯; they’ve been a summertime staple ever since. Fun fact, my son would easily eat two of these in a sitting when he was around a year old! So, why do I like these burgers so much? Let’s count the reasons (well, my top 3 anyway): Turkey provides all 9 essential amino acids and is an especially good source of tryptophan (which helps make melatonin, our sleep hormone). It is also loaded with B vitamins, zinc, phosphorus, and selenium. This recipe is really versatile. While the “original” has feta and bell peppers, we often change it up by using spinach, onions, jalapeños, banana peppers, cheddar, or goat cheese. We may even sub ground chicken for the turkey! You can easily patty these up and toss them in the freezer. When you need something quick, defrost them in the fridge overnight or the morning of and all you need to do is throw them on the grill!
Stay well,
Bethany
