Wanting to make Game Day special for Little Man I let him pick his menu. His necessities were a double cheeseburger with guacamole, Nacho Cheese Doritos, french fries, ice cream, and hot chocolate.
I wanted a burger too so I researched Whole30 approved recipes and found this recipe for Jalapeño Chicken Burgers.
These are the most flavorful chicken burgers I have ever made spiced from jalapeños, red onions, and spices. I even ground my own chicken. Oh em gee! No joke, the best chicken burgers ever!!! These burgers are not dry at all and I prefer chicken to turkey but turkey could be substituted if you prefer.
Served a grilled patty with a side of guacamole and mango salsa. I can't get over how delicious this meal was. You too will forget about the bread. Trust me.
Don't feel like I missed out on anything and can't wait to enjoy the leftovers for lunch and dinner tomorrow.
I will need to remember this recipe for a Summer get together. I know these would impress.
