So, my husband and I have been adding jalapeños to everything lately…our morning green juice, our veggie tacos, our homemade margaritas, the list goes on! We also have a deep love for pineapples, so needless to say, this is one of our favorite dinners. Sweet from the pineapple and spicy from the jalapeños! These goat cheese and jalapeño stuffed turkey burgers are a perfect spring or summer healthy dinner option for you!
This meal is a great source of clean protein. Try to purchase organic, pasture-raised turkey if possible. It’s not only higher quality, cleaner and healthier, but it tastes so much better. You can also add a side salad to get in more greens and veggies. Here’s a Simple Spring Salad that would go perfectly!
