Donna's Mexicali Turkey Burgers and Red, White and Bleu Salad

Dear Friends, this quick recipe turned out to be a winner:  It is fast, easy and mouth-watering!  Dare I say, healthy overall as well?  These turkey burgers are the lightest I've tasted yet are filling as a meal either with or without buns.  If you don't want to bother with the 3-grain mixture, rice on its own - or either quinoa or millet - will also work just fine.  For the salad, please see my 8 August 2014 post for the recipe.  Bon Appetit!  Best, Donna:

Donna's Mexicali Turkey Burgers

Ingredients:

One 20 ounce package ground turkey

1-1/4 cups Donna’s Gluten Free Millet, Quinoa and Rice (see 6 December 2014 blog entry for recipe)

½ cup fresh salsa (La Mexicana Cantina medium, if available)

Salt and pepper to taste

2/3 cup Four Cheese Mexican Blend shredded cheese

Sriracha sauce

Method:

Gently break apart ground turkey with fork, and carefully incorporate the 3 grain mixture.  Stir in the salsa and salt and pepper.  Using plastic gloves or sandwich bags, form the burger mix into 8 patties. Lightly spray each side with cooking spray.

Preheat grill to 400 degrees F.  Place burgers on grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side.  Top each with about 2 teaspoons grated cheese.  Decoratively squeeze Sriracha sauce on each one and serve immediately.

Serves 6 – 8.
