Monday Morning (Super Bowl Turkey Burgers)

And the kitty strikes again!!!

This one made both my husband and I laugh hysterically. I am still laughing now. :)

The Super Bowl was definitely worth watching last night - those last few minutes were intense! Congratulations, Steelers!!! 

The night was bittersweet because it was such a fun game, but on the other hand, it signals the end of Football Season - which is something that I look forward to with excitement and anticipation every year - even though I know that my beloved Vikings will always let me down. :(

Last night's Turkey Burgers were fabulous! They stayed very moist and tasted delish! Here is the recipe that I used:

Super Bowl Turkey Burgers

1 1/4 lb ground turkey breast

1/2 c whole wheat breadcrumbs

2 TB flax seed

3 TB chicken bouillon

1/2 c water

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

Sea Salt and Pepper, to taste

1 TB natural low-sodium tamari (soy sauce) - watch out for preservatives in some soy sauces

Dash worcestershire sauce

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix together with your hands until the ingredients comes together - do not over mix. Gently form into 5 patties. Spray a grill pan with olive oil and preheat to medium. Grill for 5 - 6 minutes per side, until no longer pink in the middle.

Serve with sprouted wheat buns and your favorite toppings. 

Tip: Heat tinfoil wrapped Sprouted Wheat buns in a 350° oven for 5 - 6 minutes, they will be crusty on the outside and soft in the middle.

Toping Options:

- Organic Ketchup (or homemade ketchup from the Eat-Clean Diet Family and Kids Book)

- Organic Pickles (regular ones usually have preservatives and dyes)

- Tomato slices

- Lettuce

- Hummus

- Mustard (yellow or Dijon)

Cooler 1 Substitutions:

• Substitute rolled oats for the whole wheat bread crumbs
• Eliminate the bun, soy sauce and worcestershire sauce
• Eat with a fork and enjoy!
