Roasted Pear & Feta Burger – Low Carb WLS Recipe
Roasted Pear & Feta Burger – Low Carb WLS Recipe
Yep. I put cinnamon in a turkey burger. Mr W is super proud that he could “detect” what the secret ingredient was. It makes this burger something really special.Â
Not to mention the roasted pear! This burger has something slightly sweet to it, but still burger-y. I put caramelized onions and feta cheese on top. A really fast meal that seems gourmet- if I had to pick a style of cook I want to be…that would be it! And also, healthy & affordable. So I would pick a quick, affordable, healthy gourmet cook. Too much?
