We've been a little hectic this week so I wanted something very simple and fast for dinner. Gourmet Garden is a company that makes fresh, refrigerated herbs and spices that I have used a few times before when I wanted fresh basil or oregano without dealing with cleaning and chopping herbs. But now they have a new line of products called "Gourmet Garden Fresh Blends."
These little tubes of deliciousness contain different flavors like Mediterranean, Thai, Moroccan, and Mexican. They were on deal at Safeway 2 for $5 so I decided to try a few out. And I was pleasantly surprised! The blends are spot on without tasting artificial or too salty (which is usually my complaint with this type of product). Here's what I made: Moroccan Turkey Burgers You'll need:Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl. Form burger patties. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and about 3 tbsp of chicken broth (this will help keep the burgers moist, which can be a challenge with ground turkey). Add patties and cook, covered, about 5 minutes on each side or until burger is cooked through.
Lightly toast pita and top with hummus. Wrap burger in the pita and add cucumber and tomato. We didn't have cucumber and tomato for the pic below, but we decided it would be a great addition!
Thai Chicken Salad
I took this recipe from a neckhanger on the Thai Fresh Blends tube. At first I was worried that the dressing was a little strong, but it actually tasted great! Here is the recipe and picture directly from the website:

Wow, that Turkey burger looks good even for a vegetarian.
