This is SUPER simple. For every pound of ground turkey that you use add 1 cup of pureed blueberries to the mix. The berries make the meat moist and everybody will love it! Served on a whole wheat bun with bleu cheese and honey mustard, this burger will satisfy even the pickiest eater!

Dessert anybody? Keep it simple with a scoop of strawberry ice cream and whipped cream.
