Now that we've gotten business out of the way, let's talk about today's turkey burgers with fresh corn salad.I live in farm country, so needless to say, this time of year corn is abundant.
You'll find it on the grill getting a lovely char, but just as often you'll find it in fresh salads, scraped right off the cob. (Be sure to scrape your kernels off the cob on top of a towel, or you'll find corn all over your kitchen days later. )
I didn't stop at fresh corn for my salad, after all, zucchini and basil are at every farmer's market I pass by. Doesn't this look like a healthy summer salad?
I think corn and turkey burgers are a match made in heaven, so I served my fresh corn salad with Italian turkey burgers on the side. My local grocer makes it easy to build a flavorful burger thanks to packages of pre-seasoned ground turkey.
There you are! A healthy summer meal in under thirty minutes - you can't beat that!
Happy, healthy cooking!Italian Turkey Burgers with Fresh Corn Salad

No ground turkey on hand? Lean ground chicken or beef would work just as well.
No fresh corn on hand? You could use frozen corn, just be sure to pick a quality variety with large kernels.
