What's for Dinner: Recipes for Turkey Burgers, Fiesta Corn Salad & Strawberry Daiquiris

What's for Dinner?

I’ve never been a big beef person—it’s always been tough on my digestion. I used to treat myself to a burger or steak maybe twice a year. But after major surgery last year, I found out I can’t eat it anymore. 😢 I still cook it for my family and in my classes, but honestly, I’m glad I’ve discovered how much I love ground turkey!


I know turkey can get a bad rap for being bland, but trust me—when you season it right, it can absolutely be delicious for dinner. Pair my juicy turkey burgers with a vibrant Fiesta Corn Salad, packed with fresh ingredients like tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado (which is loaded with vitamin E and healthy fats), and wash it all down with a refreshing Strawberry Daiquiri. You’ve got yourself a flavorful, balanced meal for any night of the week! These dishes are easy to make and are perfect for a family dinner, a casual get-together, or a relaxing night in.

Turkey Burger Recipe: A Tasty Twist on a Classic


If you’re like me and prefer a leaner option, turkey burgers are where it’s at! I love swapping out the traditional beef patty for ground turkey. These burgers are packed with flavor and can be grilled, baked, or pan-fried to perfection. Top them with your favorite fixings like lettuce, tomato, or avocado, and you’ve got a delicious, healthier alternative that doesn’t compromise on taste.

Fiesta Corn Salad Recipe

Fiesta Corn Salad Recipe: A Burst of Freshness

This vibrant salad is a celebration of summer produce! Growing up, fresh corn was always the star of our garden, and it’s still one of my favorite ingredients to use raw or sautéed. I didn’t always love tomatoes, but since I started growing them myself, I’ve really come to appreciate their juicy sweetness—especially in this dish. Whether you’re using fresh or frozen corn, this salad is a breeze to make and adds a burst of flavor as a side dish to any meal. Pair it with your turkey burger or enjoy it on its own for a light and refreshing main dish. If you are eating it as a main dish, try adding some black-eyed peas for an interesting twist that gives you a punch of protein. Want to see how I make this delicous salad?

No dinner is complete without a refreshing drink, and these Strawberry Daiquiris are the perfect way to toast the evening.

Using frozen strawberries instead of ice for that perfect, slushy consistency.



Each of these recipes can stand on their own or be paired together for a complete meal that’s bursting with flavor and freshness.
