Who doesn’t love a burger fresh from the grill? And turkey is just the right main ingredient to make your burger healthier. To guarantee moist grilled patties, I prefer mixing turkey breast and thigh meat together. For your cardio or gluten-free guests, consider Bibb lettuce leaves instead of buns, and another great way to incorporate more veggies into this meal is to stuff them full of yummy, diced ingredients. So, don’t just rely on lettuce and tomatoes to carry the veggie responsibility. Get to stuffing those turkey burgers!
