Turkey Burger
- 1 lb. ground turkey (I use 3/4 dark 1/3 white)
- 1/2 red bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1 large carrot peeled and diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 6 oz. mushrooms sliced
- 5 cups fresh spinach
- 4 tablespoons oil for frying
- 1 tablespoon steak seasoning or poultry seasoning
- Heat oven to 350
- 1)In a large frying pan, heat to medium, add half of broth, onions, carrots and pepper. Saute for 10 minutes. If the pan gets too dry add a couple tablespoons more broth.
- 2)While veggies are cooking, put meat in a big bowl. Add bread crumbs and seasoning and combine.
- 3)add mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes with more broth
- 4)add garlic and spinach. Bring temperature down to low if necessary and add only a couple tablespoons more of broth. This mixture should be pretty dry when complete. Continue turning spinach into other vegies.
- 5)Turn off heat and pat dry with towel. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- 6)When veggies are cool enough to handle, incorporated into meat and form into patties and place on plate. Wet hands periodically so the meat doesn't stick to hands.
- 7)Clean pan out of excess veggies. Heat pan to medium high and add a couple tablespoons of oil. I use coconut.
- 8)Fry burgers in batches of 2-3 at a time for 3-4 minutes per side. You are wanting to get a crust on each side, cooking will finish in oven. Place burgers from pan onto cookie sheet.
- 9)Finish in oven for 10-15 minutes. Cooking time varies by thickness of burger.

- 1 container of store bought guacamole
- 2 fresh avocados forked into mix
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
