Turkey Burgers with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese

My family has a pretty discerning palate which is great – most of the time. I can’t pull things past them without them noticing that something is “different” or “new”. I love that they can tell the difference between dishes that I make except when I am trying to get a healthier version of something on the table. (Please tell me I’m not the only one this happens to!) I have served turkey burgers several times over the past few years, but they never really caught on until I quit trying to make the turkey burger pass as a hamburger. Brilliant, huh? Instead of trying to trick them into thinking they were really eating ground beef, I celebrated the ground turkey and gave it the glory it deserves. And so this Turkey Burger with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese was created.

I’m not sure what took me so long to get on the turkey burger train, but man am I glad I did. It’s a good place to be. This burger is flavorful, lean, and the goat cheese oozes over the top. It is great for a quick weeknight meal or can even be dressed up for entertaining guests at a BBQ. Need to make them ahead of time? They are rock stars to freeze. Simply wrap the patties individually and put them in a freezer bag. Pull them out of the freezer when you need them, and you have a perfectly seasoned turkey burger ready to grill – essential for nights where dinner wasn’t the first thought on your mind. We all have those days, right?

Now if I could just find a way to get my family to believe that creamy cauliflower is really Alfredo sauce, I would hit the jackpot. Haven’t achieved that yet, but if I do, you’ll be the first to know.
