Health experts have longed warned of the dangers of “indoor air pollution”. From mold spores, to chemical off-gassing from paint, new furniture and cleaning products, sometimes the air in our homes is many times more polluted than the air circulating outside.

Now back to my open window… the most wonderful aroma came wafting in and it was the sweet smell of BBQ. The warmer weather has us cleaning off the grill and getting outside. I love the endless possibilities that the grill has to offer, from grilled meats to vegetables, and even pizza.

One of my favourite things to grill up are burgers. This Power Up Approved recipe for Turkey Burgers is a winenr. For a bun-less version, serve it on top of a grilled portobello mushroom, so delicious! So fire up the grill and give this a try.

Turkey Burgers with Horseradish Mayo

  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup fresh ground bread crumbs
  • 3 Tbsp milk or cream
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp finely chopped rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

What To Do:

In a med bowl beat egg and then add remaining ingredients and blend well with a fork. Divide into 5 or 6 equal size portions. With hands, gently form patties and place on platter in a single layer. Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill.

Preheat grill to med heat. Brush both side of the patties with oil and place on grill. Allow burgers to sear and cook for 5 to 6 minutes before turning. Continue to cook until no longer pink inside approx. 12 to 15 minutes. Add your favourite toppings and enjoy!
