Just what it sounds like, this homage to the cheeseburger is easy to make and healthier than the original (but just as tasty). You can swap in ground chicken, turkey, or even pork if you prefer. Add some hot sauce or chipotle in adobo to the special sauce to give it a kick. We give instructions for meal prepping but you can store and serve however you prefer.
