You Grill Girl! : Burgers and Fries

I know sometimes I just want a burger! But I don't really eat red meat, and I ALWAYS have ground turkey in my freezer...so why not use that? Turkey meat can have so much flavor, especially on the grill! And who says that your Husband is the only one to "man the grill"?

So give this "burger and fries" a try, I guarantee, you wont even miss the beef!
