Southwest Turkey Burgers and Fries

 

When I tried Whole30 several years ago, I was on the hunt for a good, clean burger recipe. After piecing together several variations, I came up with this! Parker was immediately hooked and I have been making it ever since. When we are not gluten or dairy conscious, we dress them up as described below. Parker always asks me to make them for company because they are simple and delicious!





Burger Ingredients

*Makes about 4-6 burgers

1lb ground turkey

1 egg

2 pieces bacon (chopped finely and cooked to remove grease)

1 T. minced onion

1 t. worchestershire

1/4 t. ancho chili pepper

1/4 t. cayenne pepper

1 t. cumin

1 t. chili powder

1/2 t. oregano

1/2 t. garlic powder

1 T. cornstarch 

Fresh ground pepper to taste


Combine all of the burger ingredients and form into patties. You can grill these but I like to fry them in butter on the stove. (Blackstone people, this is your moment). If you are going all the way with buns, butter and toast them while the burgers cook! 


Fries

4 large Yukon gold potatoes

2 T. grated parmesan cheese

1 t. garlic salt

1 t. oregano

1 t. parsley 

Cut potatoes into steak fries. Toss in olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, garlic salt, oregano and parsley. Bake on parchment lined pans at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or to desired crispiness (turn every 15 min). 


Chipotle Mayo

1/4 cup mayo

Juice of 1/8 lime

1/2 t. ancho chili pepper

1/2 t. garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and save in the fridge until burgers are ready. 


Allergen conscious: 

Whole 30: cut out buns, parmesan cheese and chipotle mayo, sub arrowroot powder for cornstarch

Husband Goals

My husband's birthday is this month, and I've been thinking about how much I appreciate all that he does. Today marks the 7th day in a row that he has been gone 12-14 hours a day. This is the life of a medical resident. He is a lover of God, amazing husband, incredible father, faithful friend, and highly skilled physician completing his residency in pediatrics. . . and he seems to make it all look easy. Let me tell you something. It's not. I can feel him fighting against the burden of his job. Of course, pediatrics is a rewarding field, but it comes with much heartache: notifying the parents of a pre-term baby that their child is not going to make it, helping parents cope with a new and challenging diagnosis, showing grace and tact with parents or patients who ignore your advice and slander you to your face. I can feel him fighting against the drag of society to disconnect, self-indulge, and shirk the responsibility of family life. I feel him fighting for our marriage...

Thompson Tacos: for Breakfast and Dinner!

Image
Thompsons love tacos. They love little tacos and big tacos. They love tacos at a restaurant and tacos at home. They love tacos for breakfast and tacos for dinner. If your kids love this book, you catch my drift.  We eat tacos for dinner about once a week. They are quick, easy, and delicious. But did you know they can be even easier? I prep these tacos (technically burritos since they are wrapped up in tortillas) often because they always come in handy!  I also LOVE making "breakfast burritos." I am someone who cannot skip breakfast and I definitely need to have protein. However, it is hard to prep a breakfast burrito masterpiece in the morning with 3 hungry kiddos underfoot.  Solution: mass prep and freeze. You can eat these right away OR store them in the freezer. I like to have them on hand for breakfast to-go or to add into a care package when I take someone a meal (give that new mama a simple, quick breakfast for her kids the next morning).  Here's the recipe: B...
