Hands down the best turkey burger I’ve made to date. These will quickly become your go-to recipe. Conveniently double or triple, and freeze extra patties for a quick dinner. Wrap burgers in a lettuce wrap and top with desired toppings like tomato, onion, avocado or hummus.

Crispy, crunchy kale chips are a great addition and a healthier version of fries. You may want to make several batches to snack on after dinner or try them as an appetizer.
