Last night, I had every intention of helping B make dinner but a meeting I had after work for one of my volunteer groups ran way over time. By the time I got home, he had not only prepped everything but actually started cooking and dinner was ready on the table minuted after I walked in the door. B took photos of the cooking process because he thought I'd be walking in the door any minute to join in. I felt bad since he made all of the effort so I thought I would post them anyway.
B made delicious turkey burgers using lean ground turkey, salt, cracked black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne and some leftover blue cheese.
He cooked the burgers in a pan with vegetable oil until there was a nice color on both sides. But just to be safe, he also checked the temperature to make sure the turkey was cooked through.
B made a gorgeous side salad using Olivia's Organics Spring Mix and adding sliced carrots and cucumbers.
He also sliced up a beefsteak tomato to top off our turkey burgers.
I was a lucky girl to be able to sit down to a healthy meal made by my boyfriend without lifting a finger (although I did have dish duty that night)! The turkey burgers were fantastic with a hint of blue cheese flavor and the cheese helped keep the burger really moist. There is nothing worse than a really dry turkey burger. I loved my bunless burger with the tomato alone and didn't need any condiments at all.
It is nice to have someone else who enjoys cooking as much as I do. And although I love cooking with my boyfriend, I also love nights like last night where I got a night off from the kitchen.
