    Chipotle Turkey Burgers

    Once upon a time, I made Nectarine Basil Salsa.

    Once upon a different time, I made smoky and spicy chipotle turkey burgers and loved it. But my love wasn’t pure because I was still dreaming of the Nectarine Basil Salsa.

    So I played matchmaker, and (as you might have noticed from picture number one with the giant bite) I am superhappy with the results! You should be happy too, because this burger is low fat, high protein, and max flavor. And the salsa, well, we already talked about the salsa. I’m obsessed.

    PS. This makes for a great meal stealer. Like when I make chipotle turkey burgers and steal the leftover turkey to make chipotle turkey tacos. That’s what I call two for the price of one.
