Rosemary Turkey Burgers
I am a sucker for a good juicy burger, there is nothing better at a BBQ in my opinion. Recently I had some creative juices flowing and was dying to try a creation I came up with that was inspired by the rosemary I’ve been growing… and oh my goodness, this combination that I came up with was a success and such a hit! And now my mouth is watering just thinking of it…
Your guests at your BBQ will get a kick out of this unique and flavorful burger!
This is a healthy and very tasty choice for your BBQ. Remember to eat in moderation of course!
My personal favorite toppings for this burger: a little greek yogurt aioli (see below), splash of ketchup, arugala, tomatoes, and avocado. Mmmm. So Tasty!
I played with some leftover nonfat greek yogurt to make a “healthier” version of an aioli sauce for a topping and to dip my sweet potato fries in!
Greek Yogurt Aioli:
1/2 cup nonfat greek yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon
2 to 3 cloves of minced garlic (I like a lot of garlic)
sea salt to taste
Mix all ingredients together well and voila!

1/2 cup nonfat greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary leaves

1 clove garlic minced (I added extra, but I think 1 clove is plenty)
1 tbsp. red pepper flakes
A dash of sea salt and ground pepper to taste
