Dressed Up Turkey Burger

 Turkey burgers are a favorite of mine. My kids won't eat them, but if I dress it up like this, my husband will eat it, so I consider that a small victory. This is great for lunch when I have the time, because it is full of healthy ingredients that keep my energy up so I can make it through the afternoon with extra pep in my step! I take a gluten free turkey burger and cook it on the stovetop in a frying pan, with a little olive oil spray. I top it with yogurt cheese, sliced red onion, avocado slices, and baby spinach leaves that have been tossed in my "go-to" homemade salad dressing. (Mix water, lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, & fresh pepper to taste. Toss the leaves in it a few times and top off your burger with more flavor). I put this sandwich together with a gluten free bun from Gillian's, although most of the time I eat it with no bun. I like to make grilled zucchini on the side- sauteed with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders. If you make turkey burgers for dinner it is also a great time for homemade sweet potato fries, but we'll talk about that in another post.
Enjoy! Check back over the weekend for some more meal and dessert ideas!
