10. Turkey Burgers
I like to call this one: The only turkey burger a vegan will eat. Fill a gluten free bun (I love Schar’s, it’s also dairy and egg free) with your favorite veggie patty. Stuff with all the fixin’s you love and make sure that lettuce sticks out to look like feathers. Create your turkey face and that’s it! Turkey burgers for everyone!
Thank you for being you! I don’t make a lot of your recipes because I don’t have a problem with gluten but I read it every week because you are creative and fun and your pictures make me happy to be vegan.
These are so delightful! I just adore them, they’re such lovely ideas to make children smile, thank you! )
You are so welcome Amy, thank YOU for your sweet words!
