Greek Turkey Burgers

Greek Turkey Burgers

These Greek burgers blew my mind!  The burgers were moist, the toppings were perfect.  A little mini-escape enjoyed by my tastebuds right in my own back yard!  Even my husband – who is a die hard for beef burgers – was impressed with these.  The zucchini really helps to keep the turkey moist, so I do not recommend skipping this step. 

Makes 6 servings

🥄  2 lb extra lean ground turkey
🥄 ⁣ 1 ½ tbsp Greek seasoning
🥄  4 small zucchinis finely grated and squeezed dry
 ⁣
🥄  4 slices feta cheese
🥄 ⁣ 4 tbsp sliced Kalamata olives
🥄  Pickled red onions
🥄 ⁣ 4 whole wheat buns

Mix together the ground turkey, Greek seasoning and grated zucchini.  Form into 6 patties.  Grill on the barbeque.

Top each burger with a slice of feta cheese, 1 tbsp olives and a few pickled red onions.  Serve on a whole wheat bun.

🥄2 tbsp banana peppers (optional)
🥄 ⁣1/4c shredded cheddar cheese⁣

Set the sweet potato to cook in the air fryer – about 25 minutes at 390F should do it, but keep an eye on the sweet potato fries as they cook.⁣
⁣
While the fries are cooking, pan fry the ground turkey along with the taco seasoning.  Drain any excess fat and set aside.⁣
⁣
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Once the fries are cooked, pile the fries on the tray.  Top the fries with the cooked ground turkey, followed by both types of peppers and the green onion.  Top with cheddar cheese.⁣

Set the tray under the broiler for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.⁣

Ginger Beef, Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry

by

Ginger Beef, Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry

In these days of fewer trips to the grocery store, I try to stock up on pantry staples in order to maximize my meal alternatives.  Broccoli is always one of my go to veggies and it tends to last pretty well in the fridge, as do mushrooms.

To make 4 servings:

  • 🥄 500 g sirloin beef, thinly sliced
  • 🥄 2 heads broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 🥄 2 onions, diced
  • 🥄 600 g mixed mushrooms sliced
  • 🥄 1/4 c soy sauce
  • 🥄 1 – 1/2 piece ginger, finely chopped
  • 🥄 2 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 🥄 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 🥄 1 c brown rice, cooked per package directions

Sautee together the ginger, garlic, onion, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes.  Once the onion starts to soften, add the broccoli and mushrooms.  Stir fry until the mushrooms are cooked and the broccoli is beginning to wilt.  Add the beef, and cook until desired level of doneness has been reached.  Serve over rice.

Enjoy!
