Niki's Neverending Adventure

I made a yummy dinner tonight. Turkey Burgers are one of my “go to” meals. They are super easy and healthy!!

 

Turkey Burgers

1/2 lb ground turkey breast

2 Tbsp chopped onion

1-2 cloves of garlic, minced

1-2 tsp Dijon mustard

hot sauce to taste

palmful of breadcrumbs

1/4 cup cooked spinach

salt and pepper to taste

1 Tbsp EVOO

 

Place all ingredients in large bowl, mix together with hands.

Make 3-4 patties, depending on how big you want them.

Cook in EVOO in skillet over medium heat, about 7 minutes per side.

Enjoy!! I ate mine on a sandwich thin with more spinach, ketchup, and mustard with a mixture of oven baked sweet potato and regular potato fries. YUM!!

I loved the addition of cooked spinach to the actual burger! Any way to sneak veggies in something where you can’t taste them is awesome in my book! I am also totally loving these sandwich thins!! They are the Orowheat Brand and are so good! I prefer them over regular bread now!

I did an easy 3 miles this morning, 2 with Erin and 1 by myself. Other than being extremely COLD, the run was pretty uneventful! I am doing a longer run in the morning but luckily I get to sleep in, so hopefully it won’t be so cold when I run! I am excited because I found a 10k race on New Year’s Eve morning that is right by my parents house! It seems like it’s a pretty small race but I am really thinking about doing it since 10k’s are pretty hard to come by here! I’ll let ya’ll know soon what I decide for sure!!

I need some more opinions!! I am planning on buying a new point and shoot camera with my birthday and Christmas money I get from my grandparents and am having a hard time deciding between a Cannon Powershot and a Nikon Coolpix. Do ya’ll have either one? Likes/Dislikes?? Any other suggestions? Thanks!!

I made some more Rolo Pretzels today! Those things are so addicting! I am going to make some more Christmas cookies tomorrow at my parents house. We found a really good looking shortbread cookie recipe in Southern Living that my mom and I plan to try out! I am so excited that Christmas is only 4 days away!! I have narrowed down my Birthday Dinner Restaurant Search to Bonefish and Mr.B’s. Never been to Mr.B’s but I have heard good things about it! Any of you Memphians been there? What did you think??

Well, gotta get back to watching The Sing Off Finale!! Good night!!
