What do you mean summer is over?! Here in Arizona it is just starting to cool down enough you can actually lay out, so we are firing up the grills and having pool days! Today I made my “go-to” turkey burgers but instead of wrapping them with the usual, lettuce, I grilled 2 giant portobello mushrooms for the “buns”. To make this amazing burger even better I added guacamole, grilled onions, tomato, and butter head lettuce… Voila! Done and done! I’m sorry if it’s already getting cold where you’re at, we tried that for 4 years, and just weren’t about that life! You can still make these amazing burgers, just cannon ball into a Jacuzzi instead 😉
