BURGER NIGHT!

Burger night does not have to be given up when you are trying to live a healthy lifestyle, but it also doesn't have to be super greasy & fatty either! It also can be a quick & easy treat meal if you use my favorite kitchen appliance--the crockpot. Here is how I do my double decker burger nights at home--

INGREDIENTS:
​- 1 pound (1 pack with 4 burgers) of lean turkey burger patties
​-cheese of your choice (I usually go with cheddar, manchego, or gouda)
​-burger buns (whole wheat is the best option but picture is with white)
​-toppings of your choice, I usually go with all or some of the following:

• ​sliced tomatoes
• sliced avocado
• pickles
• ketchup
• mustard

RECIPE:

1. ​​Season turkey patties as you would like and place in crockpot (do not overlap)
2. Cook on low for 3.5-4 hours or high for 6.5-7 hours (NO OIL USED= less fat & grease!)
3. Toast buns and place 2 patties, toppings, and cheese and DONE! Double decker cheeseburger done the cleaner & healthier way!

​SIDES:
​​I always switch up my sides but I usually like to get a side salad in with either:

• ​baked sweet potato fries (homemade) or store bought (see picture below)
• baked or fried plantains
• balsamic tomato & mozzarella salad
