Spicy Honey Chicken with a bonus salad recipe

I found another blog I love. It's Our Best Bites. It's one of those where I followed a link for one thing and ended up checking out all the recipes they had ever posted. I've made a few of them recently and they have all been top notch.

One of the first things I made was the spicy honey chicken. It was great but next time, I would add a bit more heat. We loved the glaze and made sure to have a little extra. I also followed the directions and made the mango and avocado salad with the honey citrus vinaigrette. They were both delicious and great for a quick summer night meal. Throw the chicken on the grill and with the salad, you don't have to heat anything in the kitchen. Those are my kinds of meals in the summer.



I'm not going to post the picture of my salad because if you click the link above, the picture there is much more beautiful than mine. Just know, we made it and we loved it.

Tex -Mex Turkey Burgers! YUM!

My friend was telling me about a recipe for
Tex-Mex turkey burgers in this month's Everyday Food. She sent me the recipe but it wasn't what I was thinking when I thought Tex-Mex. I was thinking of something a little spicier than chili powder and pepper jack.

I had some ground turkey in the freezer so I was determined to come up with a recipe for a tex-mex burger. I finally settled on adding chipotles in adobo, garlic, onion, cilantro, and lime with my turkey. It turned out wonderful. Hubby and my mom both loved them and so did I. We had them on lightly toasted ciabatta rolls with avocado and fresh sliced tomatoes. This will be a new staple on our table.



Ingredients:

2 pounds ground turkey
2-4 chipotles in adobo, depending on how much heat you like
3 garlic cloves
1 med onion
1 bunch cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice

Mix everything but the turkey in the food processor so it is chopped finely. Mix in the turkey and patty out burgers. I got 10 out of mine.

Grill until done. They are juicy and delicious.

We had them with grilled yellow squash and a sweet potato mash. The sweetness of the sweet potato mash was a great counter to the spicy of the burger.
