Healthy Meal Idea for the BBQ

☀️ There's just something about a burger in the summer that makes it feel like summer!

When I was a little girl back in Thunder Bay, I remember my dad BBQ-ing his homemade version (ground beef only, and salt and pepper - no spices at all) in the middle of an open flame 🔥 that was really, really high, and turning it over with an oven mitt. All inside our garage with the door open. True story!

He liked them a little charred - and I didn't know any different - so I ate them that way too.

Over the years I've welcomed burgers back into my life (charred-free), and have experimented with a variety of recipes with the goal of making a healthy, but delicious version, including the toppings.

I make a version of this recipe from Gwyneth Paltrow's The Clean Plate Cook Book.

Instead of a bun, I serve on slices of sweet potato and top with homemade guacamole (you can use store-bought), pickles, a teaspoon of mayo, and a dollop of ketchup. 

Even though my burgers are very different now from when I was a kid, each time I make them, I can't help but smile, thinking of dad, the large flame, and his oven mitt! 😊

Have a great weekend and let us know how it goes!

See you in class this week:)

BBQ Glazed Turkey Burger

Serves: 4
Time: 20 Minutes

Essentials:

  • 1 pound ground turkey (I have also used ground chicken)
  •  salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sweet-smoky jarred barbecue sauce (look out for added sugar)
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • 4 gluten-free buns, or Roasted sweet potato slices, or large lettuce leaves to serve the burgers on.
  • Pickles, Swiss cheese slices (if dairy-free), guacamole to serve on top.


The How-To's

  • Light the BBQ. 
  • In a bowl, season the turkey with salt and pepper and gently mix in 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce.
  • Shape the meat into four 4-inch patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Brush with oil and grill over moderate heat, turning once, until nearly cooked through. (About 7 minutes - but use a meat thermometer to test.)
  • Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce and cook for 1 minute longer, until cooked through and lightly glazed. 
  • Transfer the burgers to the buns, or roasted sweet potato slices or large lettuce leaves. Top with fixings. Enjoy!
