Turkey Burger Heaven

Ok, so I made these amazing turkey burgers, but we ate them too fast and I was not able to get pictures. I regret this because they looked good and tasted better.

So I had a pound of ground turkey, threw it in a bowl. Sprinkled some salt-n-peppa, a little oregano and a bunch of rosemary. I crushed two garlic cloves and tossed those in too. Took my wedding ring off then dug in and mixed it all up.

I made three burgers out of a pound, but I probably could have made four. I put them on a skillet, but on the grill might even be better.

I sauteed some red and yellow peppers with spinach and artichokes in a chili pepper infused olive oil. For those of you not fortunate enough to own this amazing olive oil, you can use the plain Jane kind. (and no I did not pay that price for mine, got it on a Woot deal)

When the burgers were ready I put some provolone on top. I piled the veggies, the burger and some thick cut tomatoes on whole wheat buns and then enhaled. It was colorful and easy on the eyes, while definitely drool worthy.

Not Coach, Not Louis Vitton... But way cuter!

My first project of something substantial made from scratch: purses! The pattern came from a Simply Made Easy packet. I switched things up a little and changed some of the patterns to give them more of a modern design.

I got some cute buttons from Joann's to top them off for a finishing touch. Also, I improvised and gave them both a little cell phone pocket inside.
