Although we just had a polar vortex in May, I am pretending its summer so I made these quick, nutrient-packed, turkey burgers on the grill!
These burgers were really quick to make and are loaded with vitamins and minerals from all the greens in there. You can enjoy them on a whole wheat bun, on a salad, a lettuce wrap or on their own. I topped my burger with tomato, homemade guac, and vegan cheese. And finally, I highly suggest pairing it with crispy, sweet potato fries because they are delicious :)
