The Bun-Less Bird Burger

The Bun-Less Bird Burger

A How to on Building a Bun-less Bird Burger! J

I enjoy this recipe because it is easy and you can have leftovers for a few days! I like to mix up my turkey burgers adding different veggies and sauces but I love this combo best. This is also perfect for cooking out (BBQ-ing) on a hot day since the tomato and lettuce are so refreshing. I am once again using goat cheese because the nutrition is better and it has a great flavor! If you have time pick up a nice stone ground or Dijon mustard to spice this up a bit and remember if you add ketchup it has a lot of sugar so if you can, skip it today J.
