green burgers


we loooove these things. they have completely replaced regular cheeseburgers in our house. in fact, i've stopped buying beef altogether, and only get ground turkey or chicken because it is so much healthier. it was a joint decision, and we haven't missed it a bit - especially with this recipe.
here's what you'll need:
--ground turkey (i buy 93/7)
--pepperjack cheese
--hamburger buns, grilled with butter (i always get ours from the bakery section in the market)

now for the green stuff:
--salsa verde
--diced green chilies
--chopped cilantro
--green leaf lettuce
--tomatillos (or regular red tomatoes)
--sliced avocado

Directions:
Add some salsa verde (about 1/3 cup), 1/2 can diced green chilies and a handul of chopped cilantro to your ground meat. Season with salt and pepper. Grill hamburgers and buns (with melted cheese), pile on the green toppings, and serve with kettle cooked chips.

enjoy!
