Do Buffalo's actually have wings?

My Monday was spent doing all of the chores that I was supposed to tackle over the weekend. You know the drill; vet, groceries, bank, laundry, cleaning, etc....

Half-way though my heaping laundry pile, I sent Joel a picture of Roscoe laying on some of his t-shirts.

Apparently Joel didn't find the picture/situation all that funny.....but don't worry, I quickly put him in his place.

The dinner that I ended up cooking my needy (and not that funny) fiance was a huge hit. I found this recipe from my favorite website for dinner inspiration, SkinnyTaste.com, made a few modifications, and it turned out delicious.

It paired very nicely with a bottle of Hahn Cab

• 1 1/2 cups broccoli slaw
• 1/4 cup skinny blue cheese dressing
• 1.25 lbs 93% lean ground turkey
• 2/3 cup grated carrots (grate in food processor) 
• 1/4 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs I used Panko
• 1 clove garlic, grated 
• 1 tbsp red onion, grated
• 1/4 cup Franks Hot Sauce
• salt and fresh pepper
• oil spray
• 5 slices reduced fat cheddar  I melted crumbled blue cheese on the turkey patty
• 5 whole wheat burger buns (I used Martin's 100 calorie Potato Whole Wheat Buns)
