My name is Sarah and I'm a once-skinny-kid macaroni-eating-swimmer now dangerously turned on to CrossFit, Paleo nutrition and overall badass-ness.

I am training as a first time participant for CrossFit's 2011 Sectional Qualifier and, through this, hope to increase my physical strength and (otherwise absent) mental fortitude. No more frustration during WODs. No more "I can't". I will stop being good at one thing, and become great at everything.

Join me on my journey to greatness!

Are you BORED with Paleo? OK: lets start with Turkey Burgers..

Listen, I’m no grill master— so much so that I am probably still unable to fire it up correctly (if at all). However, I have now successfully cooked turkey burgers on the skillet (its winter, ok?!) that aren’t dry or bland, and would thus like to give HOPE to those individuals who are BORED with their current Paleo menu.

Just because you want to live a healthy, clean, non-inflammatory lifestyle, DOES NOT MEAN you are stuck with a grilled chicken salad. Got it?

I’ve included a few recipes on this blog, but since my last food post (I can’t even remember when.. yikes!), I have undoubtedly semi-mastered a few dishes that are easy, quick, and absolutely foolproof.

  

Let’s start with the Turkey Burgers:

You will need

  • 3-5lbs ground turkey (depending on how many people you’re feeding)
  • 2 medium yellow onions (finely chopped)
  • 2 cups baby bella mushrooms (finely chopped)
  • garlic salt
  • garlic powder
  • parsley
  • extra virgin olive oil

STEP 1: Pour a generous amount of olive oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat. In about a minute, add onions and mushrooms.

STEP 2: Saute the onions and mushrooms until lightly caramelized. While sauteing, add garlic salt, garlic powder and parsley to taste (make sure NOT TO over salt!).

STEP 3: Remove ground turkey meat from package and place into a large bowl. Begin mashing/squishing the meat with your hands as to create uniform texture. Add ALL contents of the skillet into the meat bowl (mushroom, onion, and olive oil) and mix it well into the meat.

STEP 4: Using your hands, begin rolling the meat into the form of a burger. The best way is to first create a meatball shape, and then, using your index and middle finger, push down the middle of the ball lightly as to create a slight concave.

STEP 5: Cook burgers on medium-high heat until no longer pink inside. Cover if necessary.

Once cooked, I usually add ripe avocado and hot sauce to the burgers and then serve it with a side of cucumber tomato salad semi-soaked in a mixture of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Enjoy :)
