Tuesday Tantalizing Turkey Burgers

It seems like a lot of people are trying to adapt to healthier eating habits.  I know many people make a New Year's resolution to eat better and some stick to it, but others don't.  I have been trying to eat a little better-mainly staying away from fried food (using grease).  I have also been eating wheat bread or breads with grains, more vegetables, and I drink a lot more water than I use to.  I do cheat every now and then with desserts, but that's okay.  As I was putting in some Pampered Chef orders, I stumbled across this recipe.  I thought it was a great recipe for people who are trying to eat a little better, but still wanted good food.  I hope you enjoy it.  Happy cooking and eating everyone!
