TURKEY BURGERS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND CITRUS MAPLE DIJON

Who doesn't love a good burger??? Strangely, my husband and I have been hooked on turkey burgers for the last couple years. They're delicious and filling. Plus, a lot healthier!

Let's dive right in! FOR THE Dressing

• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

• 2 T maple syrup (or sub honey)

• 1 T fresh orange juice

• 1/2 tsp orange zest

• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

• 1/2 tsp lemon zest

• salt and pepper

FOR THE burger

• 1 lb lean ground turkey or chicken

• 2/3 cup crumbly goat cheese (I used the honey goat cheese from Aldi)

• salt and pepperarugula or mixed greens

For the Citrus Maple Dijon:

Whisk together in a small bowl the mustard, maple syrup, orange juice, lemon and orange zest, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Taste and add more maple if desired.

For the burgers:

Preheat the grill to high or an oiled grill pan/cast iron pan to medium high. Form the meat into four, 4-ounce burgers.

Sprinkle the burgers on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

During the last minutes of cooking, add goat cheese to each burger, cover the grill/pan with foil and let the cheese soften slightly, about 1 minute.

Place cooked burgers on a bed of arugula and drizzle with the Maple Citrus Dijon. Enjoy! Want more healthy recipes, homes workouts and fitness tips? Click here!
