Turkey burger ingredients:

Yields: 4 burgers

• 1 lb. ground turkey
• 2 tsp. sea salt
• 1 tbsp. coconut oil or salted butter

Mustard sauce ingredients:

• 4 tbsp. Dijon-style mustard
• 1 tsp. dry mustard
• 8-10 drops BE Sweet
• 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil or Essential Balance Oil (or 1/4 cup each)
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill, or 1 tsp. dried

Instructions:

1. To make the mustard sauce, whisk the mustard, dry mustard, BE Sweet, and vinegar together in a medium-size bowl. Slowly add the oil, continuing to whisk the mixture until it’s thick and well-blended. Stir in the dill. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour.
2. Place the turkey and salt in a medium-size bowl and mix well. Divide the mixture into four equal-size patties.
3. Heat the coconut oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for five to seven minutes. Turn the burgers over and continue to cook another five minutes, or until they’re no longer pink inside when cut with a knife.
4. Serve the burgers hot, topped with sweet mustard sauce.
