Asain Inspired Turkey Burgers

I was trying to work out and eat healthier for a while so this meant trying to be creative with some healthier ingredients - during this time I made an amazing Asain inspired burger that I think should be featured on a menu somewhere that's how good this burger was;)

Ingredients:

- 1 pound ground turkey

-chopped cilantro to taste

-chopped broccoli slaw

-grated fresh ginger

-grated ginger

-a few dashes of hot sauce

-2 teaspoons of soy sauce

-red pepper flakes to taste

Mix all indredients together and shape into burgers. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes or until burgers brown slightly.

The finished product - baked burger with ketsup, more broccoli slaw on a whole wheat bun.

Turkey Meatballs

I decided to make a healthier version of turkey meatballs and they came out really well. I took a pound of ground turkey, mixed it with shredded fresh basil, red pepper flakes, dried parsley and grated ginger. I made little balls and put them in a heated pot and added publix tomato sauce with no preservatives and no salt added. It was just a small can so it wasn't enough to cover the meatballs, I added enough water to cover the meatballs and heated on medium heat.

The finished product. What was so amazing was how much much flavor these meatballs packed - and healthy too!
