We made tasty and healthy Italian Turkey Burgers this week
with Red Gold Tomatoes. There are several flavors of Red Gold tomatoes you can
get, including Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic, and Oregano; Garlic and Olive
Oil; Chili-Ready; or with Green Chilies.
It
was really easy to make these aromatic burgers since the herbs were
included in the tomatoes, but make sure you add plenty of egg and
breadcrumbs since turkey does not hold together as well as beef. The
recipe suggests serving them on Italian bread with pasta sauce and
Italian cheese. Dan and I enjoyed them for dinner last night with
tomatoes and spinach and Martin’s buns. I love Martin’s buns! The Mama
Selita’s Jalapeno Ketchup went well, too.
It’s good to know about Red Gold tomatoes since they are so
easy to combine with other ingredients to make a simple yet delicious recipe.
They also have really cute red aprons, and I love that they are still family-owned. There are a couple of other burger
recipes below. I am trying the Spicy Burgers next. Yum! Also, they are hosting a sweepstakes right now - see below.
