Sundays are a day we use to meal prep for the week to come. These days usually consist of my wife Maddy cooking up a storm while I watch football and play with our son, Will. However, this Sunday was different.
I decided to go out on a limb and cook for the first time in a long time. And boy did I surprise myself! What came to fruition was a batch of tasty turkey burgers that I am proud enough to brag is better than any restaurant turkey burger I have had. And believe me, I’ve had quite a number in my lifetime!
Bold statement, but try them for yourself...
