Healthified Cheddar Ranch Turkey Burger

May 31, 2023 Amanda Plott

I'm all for turkey burgers. When it comes to a lighter, leaner, and better-for-you burger, I haven't found anything that quite compares to what turkey can do for you. And these turkey burgers are no exception! They are moist, full of sneaky vegetables, and packed with flavors that you just can't get enough of.

I've always found that when I try to 'healthify' a beef burger, it comes out dry and rather dense. Turkey doesn't do that. In fact, when you add the egg, vegetable and sauce into the turkey meat, something rather magical happens. It becomes one of the best burgers that you'll ever put in your mouth.

To make this burger, I used my go-to formulation of meat to veggie to wet ingredients. It's a base that never fails me and always leaves me with a burger that no one can complain about…

Greek Pork Kabobs

These Greek Pork Kabobs are easy-peasy lemon squeezy! Whip up a delicious Greek inspired marinade with a handful of spices, olive oil, and lemon. Skewer and grill. These kabobs can be made well ahead of time and kept in the fridge up until you’re ready to grill and enjoy, making them great for a weeknight meal prep!

There really isn’t any way to keep these kabobs light because they’re naturally lean. I went with a pork tenderloin, but chicken would be a great choice of protein here as well…

Talk about a twist on classics, y'all! Today I've combined two of my most favorite things together; spicy thai peanut dressing and burgers! I know it sounds crazy, but just hear me out. These burgers are wholesome, full of flavor, and so juicy. They are perfect for summer cookouts, being light enough not to weigh you down with any richness.

This is definitely a more refreshing burger with the cool crisp slaw, and yet is still filling enough to satisfy even the most empty of tummies. The secret? It's in the sauce! The peanut sauce that is. The Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce on this burger is what seals the deal for me. I like a good messy burger, especially when I'm entertaining!...

Football season is upon us, and that means... tailgating, homegating and my favorite part of that - burgers! Not just any burgers though. In Texas, grilling and BBQing are nearly as big of a deal as football is. Nearly.

That being said, I've got a few friends and family members who are vegetarians, or who at least try to eat less meat. So, it's always nice to have options for them when we have our big game get-togethers.

That's where MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burger Value Pack and MorningStar Farms® Garden Veggie Burger come in!...

Naked Sriracha Turkey Burger

June 17, 2016 Amanda Plott

For a while now, I've been wanting to create a 'naked' burger. What's a naked burger? Basically it's a burger that is so good you don't need a bun. That's right. This is a bun-less burger! It sits here completely bare (except for a little drizzle of sauce) and couldn't be more proud of it.

Turkey burgers tend to get knocked on a lot with people making claims like they are dry or boring and bland. Honestly, I've not ever found that to be the case. I've always infused my turkey burgers with plenty of moisture and flavor. Today, I wanted that flavor to come with a little big of a spicy Sriracha kick!...

Healthified Burgerdogs

Happy 23rd birthday to my little brother!

Tis the season around here for birthdays, so things are pretty crazy. Not like that's anything out of the ordinary. One thing that is out of the ordinary though are these perfectly amazing burgerdogs! It's a cross between a burger and a hotdog. All of the burger flavor in the form of a hotdog.

What makes this little diddy even more appealing is the fact that it is filled with ooey gooey melted cheese. Mhm, yes... I will admittedly eat almost anything that is stuffed with cheese. As I've said before, cheese is my weakness...
