Making burgers at home is one of the easiest meals for weeknight dinners, especially if you are your own herbs grower…

I have been growing a small herb garden on my balcony for years, which makes it easy and convenient to go outside and cut fresh parsley, Sage, Rosemary, or any other herbs any time I need it.

If you do not have your own garden, it is always a good idea to stock up on fresh herbs just for that quick dinner you need to make.

The burgers made with lean Turkey meat and fresh herbs, served with roasted potato instead of the normal fried fries making it a healthy, delicious, and easy dinner, which would be ready in 30 minutes.

I made a really delicious fish for dinner last night, brought me back to my childhood when my mom used to make this dish, although her fish was fried I made mine the healthier way by roasting the fish in the oven, the side dishes I made to accompany were roasted potatoes and roasted cauliflower.
