  • 1 Cucumber Diced
  • 2 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 TBSP Fresh Mint
  • 4 TBSP Olive Oil
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste

Turkey Burgers

  • 1 lb Ground Turkey
  • 1 Cup Garlic Roasted Hummus, divided Recipe for this hummus is on my blog
  • 1/4 Cup Parsley or 2 TBSP dried Parsley
  • 3/4 tsp Coriander
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Butternut Squash 3/8 Inch Slices

Instructions
 

Cucumber salad

  • Dice cucumber & place in medium sized bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix.
  • Seal bowl with airtight lid or saran wrap and place in refrigerator. This will allow time for all the flavors to soak and marinade together while one is making the burgers and roasting the butternut squash.

Butternut Squash

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice 8 pieces of Butternut squash about 3/8th inch thick, peel off the skin. Lather a cast iron pan or dutch oven with coconut oil and place squash slices in a single layer. Brush tops of the squash with coconut oil & sprinkle with salt.
  • Roast squash for 20 minutes or till bottom is medium brown, flip over and place back in oven till squash pierces easily with a fork. Total roasting time is approximately 40 minutes.
  • While the squash is roasting, put the burgers together.

Turkey Hummus Burgers

  • In a medium Bowl mix the hummus with parsley and all the spices. Then mix it with the ground turkey. Divide the meat into 8 equal patties.
  • I used a cast iron pan, place it on medium heat and add 1 TBSP oil such as butter or coconut oil. Cook burgers approximately 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. While burgers are cooking add more butter if needed. I use a cooking thermometer and make sure that the middle of the burgers reach 160 degrees.
  • Once the squash and burgers are ready, layer everything. First place a slice of squash onto the plate, then spread some hummus onto the squash, next add the burger and then a couple spoonful of mint cucumber salad. Serve & Enjoy!
