Ok so I NEVER in a million years thought that I would be eating a TURKEY BURGER!!! Me...a burger made from turkey. I LOVE meat. I am a beef fanatic, probably to an unhealthy point. So when we decided to get for and eat more healthy the first thing I thought about was.....NO MORE STEAKS(cue in shocked music).
