Spinach Cheddar Turkey Burger

I can't think of the last time that I have bought ground beef. I just do not care for it any more to be honest. I use ground turkey for every recipe that you would use ground beef in and to me it is just as good if not better! I started off in the beginning using ground turkey just because I felt like it was healthier than ground beef and I see no reason to switch back. If I want some beef I'll buy a steak, I'll let them keep the ground stuff:)

I have a couple of ground turkey recipes on here and this is just another very simple one to add to the mix. As in so simple I feel like I should add another recipe to this post and perhaps I will, but for now... on with the Turkey Burger!!


Spinach and Cheddar Turkey Burger:
Ground turkey
Frozen Spinach (Rinse and drain to thaw out. Squeeze with paper towels to remove all water.)
Shredded Cheddar
Seasonings (I do season salt, garlic, pepper, and a lil worchestire sauce.You do what you like)

Okay here is the hard part: Mix it all together to form patties. Now grab your George Foreman or a skillet, cook and enjoy. Whew that was tough!! You don't really taste the spinach in it, but it helps add some juiciness to the burger since ground turkey cooks up a lil on the dry side. I added slice cheese, grilled onions and poblano peppers, and of course I have to have my ketchup and mustard. Soooooooo yummy in tha tummy!

 That was really short so let me throw in another easy recipe for dessert! This is Paula Deen's Milk and Cookies Trifle Recipe in a pretty wine glass instead of a Trifle bowl. Click on the link above to get the original recipe. The first time I made this was the other night for our weekly get together to watch Revenge. If you are not currently watching this show do yourself a favor click on this Link and get caught up, so good!


This is a pic from the second time I made it, last night:) All you do is take some cookies quickly dip them in milk, and then layer with whipped cream!
The first time I made it I put a ton of cool whip in it. My advice is to put a thin layer of cool whip between your cookie layers, so that you do not overwhelm and loose the cookies in a big cool whip mess. Its very easy and Delish!

Hope yall have a great week, and that it will be as easy and sweet as these recipes!
