Greek Style Turkey Burgers - Video
UUUUUGGGHHH!!  I was all set to post this video on Thursday so we could kick off the Holiday weekend with a Clean and Delicious Burger recipe but due to technical difficulties (something behind the scenes was corrupted) and a serious lack of computer tech knowledge I needed to get in touch with a computer technical genius to help me solve the problem (over a holiday weekend none-the-less).

Anyhow, long story short - everything is fixed and we're ready to go SO read this post as if it's Friday BUT remember - you don't need a holiday weekend to make these simple and tasty burgers.  (Truth be told, I usually have them as a quick go-to during a busy week!!)

Skillet meals have definitely become a post-Katie staple around here!  You just can't beat them when it comes to making a clean, simple, and d'lishes meal. 

And the best part is...

What's better than comfort food that doesn't leave you feeling like a slump of mashed potatoes unable to do anything other than plop out on the couch contemplating whether-or-not you really needed to go there!??

Okay, so I've been fairly addicted to these "skillet" meals lately, but I'm telling you, once you make one you'll see why!!  It's just one of the easiest ways to get good food on the table fast and this Turkey and Zucchini Skillet video will show you just what I mean.

Turkey and Avocado Super Sandwich

What makes this Turkey and Avocado Sandwich so super you ask?!  Well other than the fact that it is absolutely d'lishes and super nutritious, it only takes about four minutes to make and requires only three ingredients... pretty super, huh?!

I mean, tell me you don't wanna just take a bite of this thing!?

It's cold and rainy here in So.Cal, so I was in the need of some comfort food.  I wanted to use up some Kale and so here's what I came up with...  Let me know what ya think!

Moist and Tender Extra-Lean Turkey Meatballs

Moist and Tender Extra-Lean Turkey Meatballs

When opting to use all white meat in this recipe, my fear was that the extra lean turkey meat could have the tendency of drying out. So the challenge was to find a way to keep these babies moist and tender.

And guys, I am proud to say, "Mission Accomplished"!

Only one week til' Thanksgiving and then the Holiday Season really kicks in (I love the holidays)!

I wanted to make a video showing an alternative dish for Thanksgiving dinner, so I chose a Stuffed Turkey Breast.  (If you want to see how to make a traditional holiday turkey, you can watch me make one here).
