• bake: strawberry rhubarb crisp bars

  Posted at 9:41 am by curatedliving, on May 12, 2014

  This Smitten Kitchen recipe will definitely be the staple summer dessert in my house! It’s incredibly easy to make and relatively healthy. I made this last night and had everyone asking for the recipe. The best part – you only need one pan!

• eat: carrot + zucchini turkey burgers

  Posted at 10:28 am by curatedliving, on April 10, 2014

  This recipe from Real Simple is my go-to for a quick healthy dinner. It’s so easy and tasty that I promise, anyone that tries one of these burgers will ask you for the recipe!

  

  Serves 4

  Hands-On Time: 25m

  Total Time: 25m

  Ingredients

  • 3/4  pound  ground turkey
  • 1  medium zucchini, grated
  • 1  medium carrot, grated
  • 2  cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 3/4  teaspoon  dried thyme
  • 3/4  teaspoon  kosher salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 1  large egg
  • 3  tablespoons  olive oil
  • 4  slices crusty bread
  • 4  small leaves Boston lettuce
  • 4  tablespoons  mayonnaise (optional)
  • 2  teaspoons  fresh lemon juice (optional)

  Directions

  1. Heat broiler. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, zucchini, carrot, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and egg. Form the mixture into 4 patties.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties, turning once, until no pink remains, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

  3. Meanwhile, place the bread on a baking sheet and brush with the remaining oil. Broil until golden brown and crisp, about 1 ½ minutes.

  4. Transfer the bread to individual plates. Top with the lettuce and burgers. If desired, combine the mayonnaise and lemon juice and serve with the burgers.

  Tip

  For extra zest, immediately after removing the bread from the oven, rub it with the cut side of a peeled, halved garlic clove.
