"Love Me for Me" Turkey Burger

Turkey burgers get a bad reputation. No, they do not taste like beef burgers because they are not beef burgers. They are in fact, a completely different animal. Too often people decide they don’t like “healthy food” because they are expecting it to taste just like the “unhealthy food” they are trying to replace. We should change our mindset and enjoy the food we are eating for all that it is and not chastise the food for what it is not.

Grilled fish is not fried fish; brown rice is not white rice and turkey burgers are not beef burgers. With a change of our attitude we can find a whole new menu to enjoy.

 ½ onion, chopped

1 jalapeno, finely diced

1 lb ground turkey

3/4 tablespoon cumin

1 teaspoon

1 teaspoon pepper

 Preheat your outdoor or indoor grill on medium to high heat. Combine ground turkey, onion, jalapeno, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine and make four or five burgers. Grill for 10-12 minutes per side and remove from heat. Pile with toppings of your choice and serve with crispy wedge potatoes. 

I'm not trying to be a beef burger!
