Our Favorite Way to Come Together…Food & Drink

Come Together

A patio is the perfect place for friends and family to gather. When I have company over, one of my favorite things to do is feed them. Trying new recipes is so much fun and your outdoor living space can inspire the recipes you choose.

 

Here are three of my favorite outdoor entertaining recipes:

turkey burgers

1) Spinach & Feta Turkey Burgers
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
½ yellow onion, grated
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup feta, crumbled
1 pound ground turkey

Pop on the BBQ for about 4-5 minutes per side and they’re ready to serve with your bun of choice and favorite fixings.
