Recipe Tips and Tricks

  • Use 93/7 or 99/1 turkey—93/7 stays juicier.
  • Don’t press burgers while cooking—keeps them juicy.
  • Make a thumb indent in patties—prevents puffing.
  • Roast Brussels at 425°F—maximum crispiness.
  • Cut sprouts in half—more surface area = more crunch.
  • Add a splash of balsamic at the end—flavor bomb.
  • Top with avocado or egg for extra healthy fats.
