I broke down after work today and ran to Borders to buy the fourth Twilight book (Target was sold out). I co uld not even go a full twenty fours before diving into the next book! 
I have to make this post quick so I can get back to reading!!
This afternoon I had an AMAZING snack of Cranberry Sauce and Pineapple.
It sounds odd, but it worked. Yum!
Dinner was a creation I’ve been dying to make all week, I’m so glad to have all of my groceries back so I could finally make it.
A couple of weeks ago reader, Natalie, asked me if I had any idea for ground turkey. So I put my creativity hat on and brainstormed what would be a good signature ground turkey item. Then I thought what pairs better with Turkey then Cranberry Sauce? I present you with Holiday Turkey Burger.
This one was so easy theres really no recipe to it. I just combined 1/4 pound of ground turkey with a generous amount of cranberry sauce and onion then formed a patty and put it on the George Foreman. It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
I topped the burger with some spinach and part skim ricotta cheese.
On the side I had a small serving of mixed veggies and some yummy rutabaga fries with ketchup.
I’m still loving the rutabaga.
I have an office Holiday Lunch tomorrow so I baked up some of Heather’s Egg Nog Oaties for the festivities.
Her recipe was very easy to follow with very few ingredients. I even pounded two candy canes and added that to the mix for a peppermint touch.
I tested one of the cookies right out of the oven as well as some of Melissa’s Peppermint Bark since I was really craving chocolate.
The cookies were great! So light and fluffy, I wonder if that’s from the egg nog?!?! Bravo Heather on the easy, delicious cookies!
Alright, time to get back to my book!

Thanks so much for pairing the ground turkey with cranberry sauce… I never thought of the idea! I think I might try this with ground chicken as well
Your turkey burgers look way more juicy than mine.. now I have a good idea as to how to tweak it.
Btw Eclipse was hands down the best book of the series…lol since you’re just now beginning Breaking Dawn I will keep a lid on my annoyances of the last book.
I have some cranberry sauce and my husband requested burgers… I’m definitely trying this combo! You’re so creative!!
Love the cookies!
