I'm taking the family on a little trip to South Beach. More accurately a tiny island off of South Beach, as I am straying from the exact formula of the recommended meal plan. It was a much needed trip, after landing in Cleveland and sampling the many tasty and addictive local restaurants and bakeries near our home.
Last night as Jeff and I positioned ourselves in front of the TV to enjoy another night of playoff baseball, we dined on these delicious burgers. Turns out the burgers were the highlight of our night as the Brew Crew (painfully) fell one game behind the Cardinals.
from Cooking Light's Fresh Food Fast Weeknight Meals
Ingredients:
1 - 1/4 lbs ground turkey breast
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 cup (2 ounces) crumbled goat cheese
1/4 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Cooking spray or butter
green leaf lettuce (optional)
hamburger buns (your favorite; however, these burgers are delicious even w/out the bun; I barely missed it.)
tomato slices (optional)
Basil Aioli (see recipe below)
1. Prepare grill, or cook in pan with butter over medium high heat on stove top.
2. Combine first 5 ingredients. Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a patty.
3. Place patties on grill; cookbook suggests 8 minutes on each side if grilling; for two patties in pan, cook 5-6 mins on each side for a slightly pink center.
4. Assemble patties on buns with lettuce, tomato, and Basil Aioli.
