I'm a mom who loves to cook/bake, but also trying to eat healthy and cook nutritiously for my family. This is just a place I can access when we are trying to figure out what to cook for the week. I don't claim perfection on these recipes, but we're trying through experimentation. Any suggestions would be welcome!

“Little kick” jalapeno burgers

These are so flavorful and good! You will never want to buy pre-made frozen turkey burgers again!

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 Tbsp. minced cilantro
2 Tbsp. water
2 dashes hot pepper sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 lb. extra lean ground turkey
3 slices pepper Jack cheese, cut in half
6 rolls or hamburger buns, cut in half

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into six patties.

Coat grill rack with cooking spray before starting the grill. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Top with cheese; cover and grill 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve on rolls or buns with salsa, sour cream, sautéed red bell peppers, lettuce, or other condiments of your choice.
