Who doesn’t love easy and delicious? Healthyish is a cookbook that focuses on delicious, doable recipes that are, indeed, “healthyish”. I love this book. So many things I’ve already bookmarked.
I made her turkey and chickpea burgers, and I was definitely impressed. They were absolutely delicious.
In addition to the book, OXO sent me some fabulous kitchen tools; their Nonstick Pro Half Cookie Sheet, Good Grips 4.5 Quart Glass Bowl, 2 Quart Silicone Collapsable Strainer, Smooth Potato Masher, and Large Flexible Spatula.
My favorite tool, hands down, was the collapsible strainer. It collapses flat, and can be easily stored anywhere.
A close second is their Smooth Potato Masher. It’s an excellent tool – some potato masher don’t have enough sturdiness to really mash food the way it should. This one does the job beautifully.
You can never, ever have too many bowls. I have some go-to’s in my kitchen, and this is now officially one of them. The size is perfect for mixing, tossing, and even serving. It’s thermal shock resistant and oven, freezer and microwave safe. Can’t get much better than that.
These burgers were outstanding.
The chickpeas definitely stretched the ground turkey further. I loved them so much, I made two batches and individually froze a batch so we could take one out of the freezer whenever we want one!
The dill and havarti is so good on this, and dijon mustard is always fantastic.
Here’s your printable –

- 6 oz. sliced dill havarti
- Toasted buns, mayo, mustard, lettuce, sliced tomato
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Mash the chickpeas in a large bowl until there are no whole chickpeas left.
- Using your hands, mix in the turkey, bread crumbs, egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Form four to six 1-inch thick patties and place on the lined baking sheet.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the patties and cook until golden brown and opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Top each patty with a slice of cheese, cover, and cook until the cheese has melted, about 1 minute.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with mayonnaise, mustard, lettuce, and tomato slices.
Here’s your pinnable!

Beautiful creation ! So glad to find you !
Once again, you’ve blown my burger-loving mind… This time with a beautifully healthy burger! We enjoy chickpeas in every way, but I never thought to blend them with turkey to make a burger. It’s brilliant, and I can’t wait to try it! (Oh, and now I need to get that folding strainer, and that flexible spatula, and the potato masher that makes so much more sense than any of the ones I have! LOVE IT!) 🙂
You had me at Havarti! (and dill) LOL I love this one!
Middle East meets America!! Perfect combo!
I need to try this soon
Love burgers, and your burger looks good.

Just a fabulous recipe, Shea! You are the goddess of burgers!! xo
