Hi-Ya !
Summer is fastly approaching, by date anyways, because North Cackalacky has been hitting 90 degree temperatures all this week and the hot temps are forecasted throughout the weekend.
Memorial day is day of remembrance for those who have died while serving in U.S. military. It is also the kick-off to Summer where cookouts will be happening throughout the weekend. You probably won't be able to drive through your neighborhood and not see smoke coming from somebody's backyard from their grill.
I love grilling during the summer months....wait, let me change that statement. I don't grill per sa, but thank God for my wonderful hubby who will fire up the grill for me anytime and even cook my meat and/or veggies.
I love a good ol' juicy, lip smacking, piled high beef burger, but since eliminating red meat from my diet about 2 years ago I have had to experiment with other protein to make my own American burger. I've replaced the Beef burger with Turkey burger, Chicken burger and Veggie burger.
Check out the Grilled Guacamole Turkey Burger Sliders recipe. It has only a few ingredients, but this burger is outta sight delicious....I call em' my lil' gourmet burgers !!!
