Dinner Recipes
• 1/2 lb. white ground turkey
• 1/2 lb. dark ground turkey
• 6 sundried tomatoes in olive oil, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil from the sundried tomatoes jar
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried)
• 2 tablespoons chopped basil (or 2 teaspoons dried)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 whole wheat buns or rolls
• Whole Foods 365 Creamy Garlic and Lemon sandwich spread (or similar)
• Lettuce and sliced tomatoes
1. Place turkey in a bowl. Gently work in sundried tomatoes plus 2 tablespoons oil from the jar, parsley, basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Take care not to overwork the mixture.
2. Form into 4 patties, making an indentation in the middle of each one to help the burgers cook evenly. Cover and refrigerate an hour to blend flavors.
3. Grill patties until firm and browned and all pink is gone from center, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve on toasted buns with garlic lemon sandwich spread, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Makes 4 servings.

Comments: These burgers are WONDERFUL! They have great texture and flavor, and are reasonably healthy. They taste good with the Whole Foods sandwich spread, but lately I haven’t been able to get that spread at our local Whole Foods store. It may have been discontinued. So, instead of using another spread, I mashed an avocado, seasoned it with a bit of salt and pepper, and used that mixture for a spread. We liked the burgers even more!
