Greek Burgers

Greek Burger that can be garnished a few different ways. We always use English muffins as our buns...they are less fat and calories. Use what you like. I spread a store bought garlic hummus on each side, tossed a little arugula in a store bought balsamic vinegar and then added the burger...it was sooo good. Hope you enjoy!

Jerk Turkey Burger with Orange Avocado Relish and Roasted Red Potatoes

Good Evening.
After looking at other food blogs I found that I have a lot of work to do....I am not the most computer savy person so bare with me if my blog is a little plain for awhile. I will work on the frills later. Now on to dinner.

It has been a very long day so a quick and easy dinner was in order. Last week I saw ground pork at Publix and they never have ground pork. I bought some and put it in the freezer, not sure of what I was going to do with it. Over the weekend I took it out along with 1lb of ground turkey. I used half of each and made spaghetti and roasted red pepper meat sauce(will post recipe later). I had the other half of each meat in my fridge and needed to use it today or it was going to go bad. This is what I came up with. Enjoy!
