I hope you’re all out there conquering your week!  Tuesdays suck, I know :/ It doesn’t help my Tuesday blues that the sky is fogged over and the wind is blowing freezing air off the bay in San Francisco.  So today I’m throwing it back to when the sun was shining a couple weeks ago and I made these sunny Protein Style Cali Burgers.

5-img_7846

These burgers are simple but delicious and fresh…I used grass-fed 93/7 beef and uncured turkey bacon on mine.  Throw on a fried egg and some sprouts to really get that Cali feel going.  Don’t forget about the zesty fry sauce because it brings this whole meal together with a little bit of spice!

1-img_7788

I found this turkey bacon at the local Safeway here in SF…it was a little on the expensive side, but in my opinion it’s better to pay a couple extra bucks than eat all the crazy ingredients in some of the other brands of turkey bacon.  I’m sure Whole Foods has an entire treasure trove of additive-free turkey bacon, but I can’t bring myself to deal with their parking garage here.  Maybe someday when I live in suburbia I will finally get to enjoy the spoils of visiting multiple grocery stores in one day!

These bad boys will stay fresh for about 4 days if you meal prep them the way I did in the picture up top.  The only thing I left separate was the tomato because the acidity will jack up your beautiful lettuce and ain’t nobody got time for that.  Oh, and if you can’t have a burger without cheese, throw on some pepper-jack.  I’m sure it would be delightful 🙂

For my meal preppers out there, heat up your fries in a toaster oven to keep them crispy!
