So today I’m thinking about things that have made me happy in the last week. 🙂 Like driving home from visiting my folks and catching a glimpse of their neighbors garden. I had to stop right there in the middle of the road and take a picture. Isn’t it a lovely tangle of beauty?
Having my god daughters, Jayda and Koda over for a sleepover was so much fun! Koda did my make-up, Jayda draped my collection of scarves everywhere to create her very own restaurant and I made them a blanket tent to sleep in. And of course we took lots of crazy pictures. 🙂
I was also happy with these delicious mini-turkey burgers. Ground turkey had seemed like a healthy option at the grocery store but I didn’t really know what to do with once I got it home. I thought a while and finally decided on turkey burgers. I added a whole grated onion, lots of sage and ground pepper, a bit of salt and fried them up in olive oil. They are scrumptious little numbers, especially topped with a nice hot mustard and served with mashed potatoes.
What are some things that have made you happy this week?
Turkey Sage Burgers
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
1 onion, grated
1 Tbsp powdered sage
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
olive oil
mustard for dipping
Directions:
- Mix all ingredients except olive oil. Form into round, flat patties.
- Heat olive oil in sauce pan over medium-high heat. Cook until browned on both sides and cooked through.
- Serve warm with good mustard.
Aww your goddaughters are supremely adorable! And I love their names! So original but in a really sweet way.
Those ground turkey burgers sound like they are full of flavor. Love it.
Aren’t they darling, Joanne? I just love them to bits. 🙂 The turkey burgers are VERY flavorful!
Your goddaughters are so cute!
Thank you, Zita! I think so too. 🙂
Pesto risotto. Canned cranberry beans. Finally finding an oatmeal cookie recipe that I want to make. All food related happiness. Oh, and not being home for Halloween, so having to eat the miniature kit kats I bought with espresso after dinner.
There was a pork burger the other day on a site – I filed it, and will have to check. It was a German slider that included caraway and other German flavours. I loved the idea of having it as one of three sliders on a plate… and this would be another completely different flavour to put with it. I am not filing this and on the outlook for the third.

Making a super moist pumpkin cake, having coffee with friends and now heading to Seattle tomorrow:D
love that garden!! i dream of having a green thumb and having a garden just like that one…which, besides having no green thumb probably won’t happen in the cold north..oh and thanks for the recipe! we eat no beef/pork so i love a new turkey recipe! 🙂 trying it tomorrow! 🙂
Lovely god daughters. No doubt that they kept you on your toes. They are beautiful girls.
Love the turkey burgers. I never thought to put sage. I guess that makes perfect sense as we put it on our thanksgiving turkey and in our holiday stuffing.
Take care.
