Turkey Burgers

I got this idea after attending a technique class at Willams and Sonoma

What you'll need
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1/2 red onion minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground Italian seasoning
Black pepper to taste

Olive Oil mixed with ground Italian seasoning to brush the top of the burgers with as they cook.

Mix the turkey, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, and pepper in a bowl. Form the burgers and let them sit in the fridge for an hour or so before grilling.

We topped these with provolone cheese and salsa. Even my husband ate these and he is not a ground turkey fan.

I made six burgers with this and had no leftovers.

Lemon Ice Box Pie

What you'll need:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 (14-ounce) can condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pie crust ( I used a shortbread crust)

Combine the cream cheese, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix on medium speed until smooth. Pour into the pie crust. The original says to refrigerate overnight but I put it in the freezer for a few hours and it came out delicious!

By the time I went to get a picture the pie was gone!
