Final Challenge: THE BURGER

I am not a huge red meat fan, but I cannot complete my 'fast-food challenge' until I have provided a healthy, quick and DELICIOUS burger alternative.

Here's what I came up with: Feta and Spinach Turkey Burger (with bacon...why not, right?)

Turkey meat is much leaner than beef, which is why I prefer it. It is also milder in flavor, which gives you the opportunity to play around. Turkey meat is wonderful if you mix it any of these flavors: apples, chutney, chipotle, or soy/ginger/ scallions. Play around next time you make turkey burgers.....see what you come up with!

Here is my Feta and Spinach Turkey-Bacon Burger:

• 1 egg, beaten $1

• 1 clove of garlic, minced

• Bacon $2

• 2 ounces feta cheese
• roughly 5 ounces frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) $2
• a dash of paprika (adjust to your liking)
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 lb of ground turkey $3

Cost: $8

Step 1: Combine all your ingredients in a bowl

Step 2: Patty your meat up into four generous patties

Step 3: Grill or broil your burgers for four minutes on each side

Step 4: Cook your bacon strips until they are crunchy

Step 5: Pile it high and take a big ol' bite!!
