My friend was telling me about a recipe for
Tex-Mex turkey burgers in this month’s Everyday Food. She sent me the recipe but it wasn’t what I was thinking when I thought Tex-Mex. I was thinking of something a little spicier than chili powder and pepper jack.

I had some ground turkey in the freezer so I was determined to come up with a recipe for a tex-mex burger. I finally settled on adding chipotles in adobo, garlic, onion, cilantro, and lime with my turkey. It turned out wonderful. Hubby and my mom both loved them and so did I. We had them on lightly toasted ciabatta rolls with avocado and fresh sliced tomatoes. This will be a new staple on our table.

With the gastric bypass surgery I had, it’s more important than anything to make sure that I get adequate protein in. So, for me - eating healthy IS eating protein, first and foremost. That’s why the Eat Healthy - Protein Rich food blogging event is right up my alley. For me, at least, fat intake doesn’t matter (since I only absorb 10% of what I actually eat), but I do realize that others aren’t so lucky. Even though I have tons of protein-rich foods to blog about, I picked the one that isn’t high fat. I like to buy deli meat to make sandwiches, but sometimes at the end of it’s life, rather than sending it to the freezer to die a slow death, I like to basically use up the rest of it in a nice hot sandwich. This is one way to use up leftover deli turkey.
