Hawaiian Turkey Burgers everyone will love!

I just have to share this fabulously delish recipe with you. It's such a great summer recipe!  We've had these twice now and my family loves them!  We grill ours on our Traeger and they turn out so juicy and flavorful.  I adapted this from Six Sisters' Stuff​. I took out a couple of ingredients (minced green onion and minced green pepper) from their original recipe because my girls and hubby are not fans of them.  This is my adapted recipe below.

Hawaiian Turkey Burgers Recipe
(Makes 4 burgers)

Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 small can pineapple slices, reserve juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 slices Swiss cheese (I used the thin slices)
Teriyaki Sauce (whatever you like)
Light mayonnaise (optional)
Hamburger buns (I used the whole wheat thins)

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine turkey, bread crumbs, ginger, 1/4 cup reserved juice from pineapple and salt.  Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal parts and form into patties.  Grill, broil or cook in a frying pan over medium until cooked through.  The last few minutes of cooking, place pineapple over heat to grill.  Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty when warm.  Spread Teriyaki sauce and light mayonnaise on buns and top with burgers and pineapple.

On the Go - Inside Out Pancakes

http://www.superhealthykids.com/portable-pancake-pockets/

These look so fun, delish and healthy.  We all know if you make something a little different and fun the kiddos will love it and more importantly eat it!  :)

I'm definitely going to be making these up ahead of time so they are easy to grab and go on those busy weekday mornings as well as early soccer mornings on the weekend.

Try them out yourself!  Here is the website there were found on.  Super Healthy Kids has some fabulous recipes for the whole family.

The Steps:

1. We first mixed up our batter. We used our standard pancake mix recipe. This pancake mix stays in our pantry at all times.  It beats purchasing pancake mix from the store and we always have some.
2. Then, we chopped up some strawberries and blueberries very finely. I actually used a food processor and pulsed rather quickly to cut them up, without pulverizing it.
3. Then, we poured 1 tablespoon of pancake mix onto a heated and well greased skillet.  You can then spread the mix out a bit to thin it out, so your pancakes aren’t too puffy at the end.
4. Then, we scooped a spoonful of berries to the center, and spread them out as best we could.
5. Then (this is the hardest part), drizzle the batter over the berries.  No need to pile another clump of batter on, simple drizzle to cover them up!  (watch the video for the demonstration here).
6. Then, flip the pancake to cook the other side!

Mmmmmm… wouldn’t you want these while you are waiting for a parade to start!  So fresh and delicious!


We’d love to see you get creative with other fillings!  We of course love berries for this, as berries are  super healthy food to include in your kids diets.  Both strawberries and blueberries are high in antioxidants and phytochemicals that protect those little bodies from damage, stress, and inflammation.   I tried it with some cottage cheese, since we enjoy cottage cheese on TOP of our pancake, but it was a bit difficult to work with, and kind of runny.  What fillings will you try?
