Porcupines by Curt Despres

Here’s one of my favorite recipes of my wife’s. She got this one years ago from her sister Linda. I love these meatballs with the rice cooked right into them.

Turkey Taco Burger

Turkey Taco Burger by Curt Despres

This weekend, my wife and I got creative. We bought some ground turkey and decided that we would each make up our own recipe. My wife likes the more subtle flavors. When I say that, I don’t mean boring, I mean she just tends to put flavors together in a more subtle way, where I tend to get a little carried away. So, being the…
