A quick easy dinner favorite in our house is the turkey burger. You can jazz this up a million ways - and trust me, I do. This "broccoli cheddar" variety is a great way to get in those green veggies without making quite a statement :-). My son thanks me for that.

What you will need for (4) burgers...
1 lb. all white turkey meat (99% fat free)
1/2 cup low fat cheddar cheese
1 cup finely diced broccoli (or more if you like!) - tops only!
1 small bundle of green onion (whites and some greens)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (you can omit if you hate mustard)
Salt & pepper for taste

Mix all into a bowl & make patties. I used an indoor grill for these, but you can easily cook them up in a skillet or on the outdoor grill. You could even do them in the oven (350 for approx 20 minutes).

You can serve with lettuce tomato on a gluten free bun - OR just serve over a green salad (my favorite way!). Enjoy!


Some other quick options are...

Any mushroom & mozzarella
- asparagus & goat cheese
- zucchini & Parmesan
- Diced apple & cheddar (sounds crazy, I know!! But it is good!)
