Pepper - Jack Turkey Burgers
"My twist on a recipe from the Weight Watchers Complete Cookbook. It's a favourite in my family, and one of the reasons my weight loss journey was so successful! Turkey is lean, very nutrient dense and easily jazzed up. You won't be asking "where's the beef?" for long!"

<p>Montessori teacher, nutritionist and pastry chef: baking is my passion, but teaching the value of good food to whole families is close to my heart too! I have a passion for re-instilling the love of good-quality, home-made and mostly healthy food into the hearts and kitchens of children and their families today. I believe that any ?homemade? food, even when labelled as naughty, is a more wholesome treat than pre-packaged, cookie-cutter junk.</p>
