Each four-week boot camp has a fee of $15 per class if you pay by the month. $20 dollar drop in. Picture of the Day: Below is a picture of Harry. Boot Camp and my private sessions are always pet friendly. Yesterday I met with a good friend and client Caroline who has my all-time favorite breed of dog. Harry is the BEST dog and having him join us made my day. He reminded me so much of the Looney Tune character Sam the Sheepdog. Sam and Ralph the Wolf would punch the time clock every morning and exchange a friendly, Mornin Sam, and Mornin Ralph. Then they would proceed to just do their jobs, Ralph trying very hard to abduct the helpless sheep and his invariable failure, and easy-going Sam always putting Ralph in his place, winning and protecting his flock. At the end of the day, theyd punch out and chat amiably again. :) Summertime Whats For Dinner: Turkey-Mushroom Burgers with Scallion-Lemon Mayonnaise In this healthy turkey burger recipe, lean ground turkey stands in for ground beef, and mushrooms are added to produce a thick and uncommonly juicy, flavorful turkey burger. An easy, lightened mayo sauce provides the perfect accent. From EatingWell: Summer 2002, The EatingWell Diet (2007), The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004) Yield: 6 servings Active Time: 55 Total Time: 70 INGREDIENTS Burger 1. 2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed, torn into pieces 2. 8 ounces white mushrooms 3. 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 4. 1 medium onion, finely chopped 5. 2 cloves garlic, minced 6. 1 pound lean ground turkey breast (see Tips) 7. 1 large egg, lightly beaten 8. 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill 9. 1 1/2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard 10. 1/2 teaspoon salt 11. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 12. 6 whole-wheat buns 13. 6 lettuce leaves 14. 6 tomato slices Scallion-Lemon Mayonnaise 1. 1/4 cup nonfat sour cream 2. 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise 3. 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped scallions 4. 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest 5. 1 teaspoon lemon juice 6. Pinch of salt, or to taste 7. Freshly ground pepper to taste PREPARATION 1. To prepare burgers: Place bread in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl. Pulse mushrooms in the food processor until finely chopped. 2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and the mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add to breadcrumbs and let cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, prepare mayonnaise: Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, scallions, lemon zest, lemon juice, pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl; whisk until blended. 4. Preheat grill to medium-high. 5. Add ground turkey, egg, dill, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the mushroom mixture; mix well with a potato masher. With dampened hands, form the mixture into 6 patties, 1/2 inch thick, using about 1/8 cup for each. 6. Oil the grill rack (see Tips). Brush the patties with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Grill until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 165F.) Meanwhile, split buns and toast on the grill for 30 to 60 seconds. Serve burgers on buns with the mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato. TIPS & NOTES Make Ahead Tip: Prepare patties through Step 5. Wrap individually and refrigerate for up to 8 hours or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking. Cover and refrigerate mayonnaise (Step 3) for up to 2 days. Tips: Check labels carefully and select ground turkey breast. Regular ground turkey, which is a mixture of dark and white meat, has a higher fat content (similar to that of lean ground beef). Oiling a grill rack before you grill foods helps ensure that the food won’t stick. Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to coat the food with cooking spray.
