Turkey Burger Gyros

This is one of my absolute favorite recipes. I adapted this recipe from one I found when looking for turkey burger ideas. I’ve always loved gyros, and these burgers offer a lot of the same flavors but are quick and easy to make at home. Thinly slice the burgers and serve them on warmed pita bread topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and homemade tzatziki, and you have a delicious spin on a Greek favorite.

Grilled Romaine Hearts

I try to eat salads as often as possible, but no matter how many times I change up the ingredients, I still lose interest. That was until I discovered grilled romaine hearts. Grilling the lettuce gives it a charred, slightly smoky flavor. Chop up the romaine hearts and add your favorite toppings, and you have a delicious healthy meal.

Ham and Asparagus Quiche

Quiche is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can customize a basic quiche recipe to include your favorite ingredients, and it’s an easy dish to make. This recipe includes ham leftover from Easter dinner (you can only eat so many sandwiches), fresh asparagus and grape tomatoes, and sharp cheddar cheese. Not only does it taste great, but it looks pretty, too.
