I had to include the word decadent in the description because it’s how I felt when I was eating this. Holy wow! This burger is moist and flavorful. Please don’t get fat-free turkey, a little dark meat is not going to hurt you! I promise. These toppings worked in harmony but feel free to mix and match them. I served on a portobello “bun” but feel free to use a.. Read More

I’m a huge fan of coconut wraps as a substitute for tortillas or bread but some people don’t like the flavor. I have not had much luck in finding a gluten free or grain free bread that I really like.

Cauliflower rice is a really great substitute for anything you would serve with white or brown rice. If you are avoiding grains or just want to cut down on carbs a little it is a really great alternative.
