Sadly, with the upcoming move I've had little to no time for creative endeavors in my kitchen. This past weekend, Mark and I went home to knock a few wedding planning items off of our agenda. As usual, we returned to Chicago with two grocery bags full of goodies. My mom sent me back with a homemade turkey burger that was so delicious, I couldn't resist sharing her secret!
These freeze extremely well and would be a great make-ahead meal. Since the recipe serves eight, just take the uncooked patties that you want to save for later and individually wrap them in foil or wax paper, place into a Ziploc bag, and freeze. Remove the patties from the freezer the night before you plan to eat them, and you'll have a dinner ready in 15 minutes! The best part is, these have great nutritional stats (about 260 calories per patty), so you can indulge in a small portion of oven-baked fries for a guilt-free dinner!
