Summertime Chow | Healthy & Fit

So over my super busy weekend I got an email from my FAV California trainers >> Karena & Katrina from TONE IT UP! I love getting their emails to encourage me throughout the week to keep me motivated in the gym and in the kitchen. This weekend they sent out a great email with a link to their new post 5 Healthy Memorial Day Recipes. Here are my favorites - I can't wait to add these into my rotation!!

Mediterranean Turkey Burgers

Divide 1 pound of organic low fat ground turkey into 4-5 patties. Next, add in cranberries, feta, garlic & spinach to each patty with your hands.  Combine egg whites and olive oil in separate, medium sized bowl. Take 1 patty and dip in the egg mixture the moisture.
