Mexican Turkey Burgers

We eat very little red meat at our house- or at least try to. I love these turkey burgers for a quick easy dinner. I serve them with a salad with sliced avocados. These have tons of flavor. I use the salsa purchased in the produce section of most grocery stores- it is fresh, and so good!

Mexican Turkey Burger:
1 pound ground turkey breast
4 T chopped scallion (white part only)
2 t jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced(optional)
2 t minced garlic
3 t chili powder
1 t ground cumin
pinch of salt
fresh salsa

Combine all ingredients except salsa. Mix thoroughly. Shape into patty. Broil for 4-5 on each side until cooked through. Top with salsa

(I cook mine in a skillet- with the lid on to keep them juicy, and brown on each side until cooked- just a few minutes on each side should do it.)

Turkey Spinach Burritos

These are the best, easy tacos, loaded with flavor! I love that there is hidden spinach for my growing girl in there as well!

1 lb ground turkey (this originally called for ground beef, I have made it both ways)
1 bag fresh baby spinach
1 cup salsa
1 tsp. cumin
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 package mexican blend shredded cheese (I use less, although I love all the cheese on it)

Brown meat in skillet, drain, and add the spinach. Let the spinach cook down and add the other indgredients. Simmer for a few minutes then add cheese on top to melt. Serve in warm tortillas (the fresh ones from Costco are my favorites!) with sour cream!
