Idea File: Flavorful Turkey Patties (seriously)

The health-conscious and the flavor-conscious can finally pair up with this dish. Tuesday night dinners are usually short on time but, why settle for the ordinary? If you're looking for a new idea for ground turkey, check out the ingredients for our meal this evening.

• Start with lean ground turkey in a medium bowl
• Sautee chopped onions with olive oil and red pepper flakes, then add to bowl
• Add diced celery to the ground turkey mix
• Then shred a sharp cheddar and add to mix in bowl, slice about 8 pieces of the cheddar to later melt on top of the patties
• Season with sea salt and a pinch of ground pepper
• Mix all ingredients together well and form loose patties
• Prepare a non-stick skillet, hot enough for the turkey, place patties and steam with small amounts of water around the patties. Cover as you cook.
• Melt the cheddar slices on top when turkey burgers are browned on the outside and fully cooked through (about 2-3 minutes per side with steam).
• To finish, place on potato roll with a small amount of mayonnaise spread on the top half.

The ingredients gave the turkey a fresh kick and the water kept them from drying out. I served these juicy and flavor-packed turkey burgers with couscous on the side. They received a thumbs-up at our house tonight.

Goodnight from Adventure Girl. Remember to keep things fresh and flavorful!
