First off, I want to say how proud I am of the blogger I am about to feature. I’ve followed Amanda on Instagram for a long time. She is always hard at work in the kitchen creating healthy recipes and displaying a role-model worthy lifestyle. When she told me she was starting a blog, I was thrilled. “Finally!” I promise you won’t regret visiting her blog and checking out all of her delicious recipes. She’s such a sweet girl and you’ll be instantly hooked!
Today, I am sharing her jalapeno turkey burgers! How bomb does that sound?
From the Kitcheneer!
The recipe I am about to share with you is a staple in our weekly menu because it is healthy, high in protein, and spicy! We love jalapeno turkey burgers and these were absolutely delicious! Everything in this meal was ordered from Relay Foods from all the ingredients to make the burgers to the side dishes even the salad dressing! Also, ordered something special for one lucky reader which I will get to in a moment!
You Need:
For Burgers:
– 1 lb ground turkey -2 cloves of fresh garlic minced -1 egg – 2 jalapenos sliced ( I only used one this time because I could tell that they were VERY spicy!) – 1/4 cup plain whole wheat bread crumbs – pinch of paprika – salt and pepper
For the toppings:
– 1 bunch of leaf lettuce – 1 sliced red onion – 1 avocado sliced – 4 slices of pepper jack cheese ( the fresh cheese we had from Marshall’s Farms was SO GOOD! )
For the side salad: – 1 head of organic romaine chopped 1-2 handfuls of snap peas – sliced cucumbers – sliced avocado – I used Annie’s Organic Green Goddess dressing – 1 bag of Alexia Spicy Sweet Potato Fries
-Heat the grill and spray with cooking spray
-Grill burgers for 7-12 minutes or until cooked through.
Directions:
To make burgers combine all burger ingredients thoroughly and make four patties.
-While burgers are grilling preheat oven for sweet potato fries and bake per instructions
-Also, make the side salad and prep toppings
These were so delicious! I think the freshness of everything made it that much better than normal!
Don’t forget to follow Amanda on Instagram and her blog!

Hi! I’ve written you several times before but I haven’t been lucky enough to be responded to. Hopefully you can respond to this:
I love your blog; it’s very detailed and it’s helpful for a person like me who is a perfectionist. I know you have had a hard time with perfection in the past before, as have I and continue to… I struggle to organize myself and whenever I begin to prepare I over complicate things and obsess over little details that don’t matter. long story short I am never able to get organized. Additionally, I have ADHD, which means that every single thought about every single aspect of my life is always floating around in my head and I cant separate things and I get anxious thinking about it even though I really do like organizing (the fact that this comment is all over the place might give u a clue haha).
I have seen how you constantly have to move from place to place and you seem like you like to organize everything over and over.
I would REALLY love seeing an organization section; I know you have tips around your website but and entire section with tips on how to plan out your week, how to organize your bedroom, HOW TO KEEP THE ESSENTIAL THINGS ONLY (I’m a bit of a hoarder too, still have my 7th grade school work…), all that would be SO helpful to so many of us!
I would love seeing all that stuff on your blog. I’m 21 atm so I think your tips would be personally very useful.
Please reply I’d love to know what you think!
Love,
A reader all the way from 2010 🙂

YUM!!! These sound delicious. My boyfriend and I are searching for healthier summer dishes and this sounds like a winner. I’m putting it on the meal plan for next week now 🙂
