Now this recipe may sound weird, but I was able to get my family to eat it which was a big accomplishment. I adapted the recipe for Turkey Bean Burgers from one I found in my recent issue of Simple and Delicious. When I saw this recipe I considered it a challenge to see if I could get my family to eat it.
We are talking ground turkey with beans, zucchini and red pepper mixed into it. It actually was pretty tasty. However, my family still prefers good old beef burgers, but these were a fun adventure and my kids had beans and vegetables with their burger.
