So I heard from my friends on Facebook and Twitter that May is National Burger Month. Well, now, isn’t that convenient?
The other day I went food shopping and nothing really appealed to me as I walked up and down the aisles. Sometimes I can grab things for multiple meals, but this day I couldn’t see my next meal in front of my face. But, because I needed to bring something in, I bought some ground turkey and decided to make a burger.
…with a few twists.
There’s nothing magical or super creative about this recipe…just the message to not get stuck in a rut.
Push it, mix it up; your next meal doesn’t have to be like your last.
No two burgers have to be the same.
Turkey can be dry so I decided to stuff it with a wedge of Laughing Cow Blue Cheese (35 calories) and some parsley. And because it was turkey, I thought it would pair well with fruit so I threw some frozen cherries into the pan as I was caramelizing the onions. It was a good call and broke down beautifully adding color and sweetness.
Yes, it was a thick burger (but small in circumference 
) which helped keep it moist. That and the sweet onions on top!
Happy May…Happy National Burger Month!

Not fair. I’m not eating cheese or cheeseburgers right now, and I think I can smell it through the screen. Love that skinny bread.
Oh, boy, what a decadent burger! Wish it wasn’t raining…we’d fire up the grill
Thanks for pointing me back to your newer blog.

Love the idea of cherry caramelized onions! I actually just used up my frozen cherries
but I saved the juice so I can use it to prepare the onions; my family would really like that.
Burger month? Hadn’t a clue.
This one is definitely a winner and I’m loving the sound of the caramelized onions!
I like the cherry caramelized onions…I too stuff my burgers with “el queso”. Just gave me the idea to do my version this week.
I nearly shorted out my computer by drooling on it. YUM! I have got to try this!!
I’ve never been a big burger fan but lately I’ve been craving them. This one is just perfect. I need to get back into the kitchen and start making stuff like this again. Oh so delicious!
Hm…yummy!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the cherry caramelised onions and what a burger! What an innovative take on the mundane as always.
Also, with your Italian gene and love for all things Italia, I have some news to share so I look forward to your visit
chow!

Now, I’m not a hamburger gal. I seldom crave one, and this image has just done the job on me.
That is to crave one right now
