Summa time!!!! Makes you want to crank up a certain sublime song and pull out the grill.
Because I live in Miami grilling isn't exclusive to summertime, but it is definitely encouraged. There's just a feeling when it's summer, maybe its the old memory of freedom, but it makes you want to do anything and everything cliche.
I dont love the taste of regular ground beef, in fact I strongly disklike it. But that doesn't mean I dont want to feel like a red blooded american, I want me a burger!
I opt for a turkey burger which is coincidentally also a healthier version, 1 point for me.
I paired this turkey burger with arugula tossed in a lemon vinaigrette. Arugula has an enjoyable bitter taste and it really paired great with the burger. I also added some sautted mushroom and onions. Yummmm
