Brazilian Turkey Burgers w/ Home Made Pineapple-Chipotle Mayo
Where I’m from, Spring is all about grilling! So I wanted to put a fresh and healthy spin on the traditional burger for dinner parties with my friends at home. This is the best of both worlds – it tastes great and has lower fat than a traditional burger.

2 eggs
2 tablespoons of pineapple juice
