Indian-Spiced Turkey Burgers

We are in love with these burgers!!!!!! Wow were they ever good. I think this is the best new recipe I've made in years. I made some changes to the original recipe to make it my own (as always). Just wanted to share with you: Indian-Spiced Turkey Burgers 1Ib Extra Lean Ground Turkey 4 Scallions, thinly sliced 3 Tbs Chopped fresh ginger 2 Tbs Fresh Lemon Juice 1 Tbs Paprika 2 tsp Ground Cumin 1/2 tsp ground cardamon 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper coarse salt and fresh ground pepper Vegetable Oil Whole Wheat Pitas Halved 1 Cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced on the diagonal 1/2 C fresh cilantro sprigs Preheat grill to medium high. In a bowl mix together the turkey, thinly sliced scallions, ginger, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, cardamon, cayenne, 1 1/2 tsp coarse salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Gently form the mixture into 3/4 inch patties (I made minis so I could put 2 in each pocket). Oil your grill with the vegetable oil. Season patties with coarse salt

Life is Happening

I don't write because I don't think I have anything brilliant to say. I don't create because I don't think I will make the greatest piece of artwork ever made. And I did not write this because its brilliant (it most definitely is not), but because writing has a kind of therapeutic value for me. I always felt like I had something to say before, but I'm in a new stage of life... a stage where I know very little about anything. You can always know that your life is going to change dramatically whenever you get to a point where you think you have things figured out. You think you have the puzzle pieces that make everything make sense. I remember wanting this. Desiring to be a wife and stay at home mom so badly. I remember my sister saying something like, "Shouldn't you aspire to be something greater?" I was so mad. So now this is my life. Its funny how 10 years changes you as a person. How different I am now from when I was 17 and in high school,
