Hamburger Sauce (Like In and Out)

I love good grilled hamburger, and the secret is their sauce:

here is the copy cat version of in and out burger from chef in training, you can see the picture here:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tblsp ketchup
1 Tblsp white vinegar
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp sweet pickle relish
2 tsp finely minced onion
dash of salt and pepper
Mix ingredients together in bowl, cover and let set in fridge

How to put together a hamburger:
bottom bun, spread with special sauce, tomato slices, iceberg lettuce, add hamburger with melted cheese, then slices of onion, top with top bun that was spread with special sauce as well.

Healthy Turkey Chili

Tonight my daughter invited me over to dinner and she served this, it was yummy and healthy, so I am writing it down to make again!

I believe it is from the 21 day fix program.

Turkey Chili

1 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 lbs raw 93 % lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp sea salt or Himalayan salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper to taste
2 (15 oz) cans black beans, or pinto beans, or kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz) can all natural diced tomatoes, no sugar added
Fresh cilantro sprigs, finely chopped for garnish (optional)
(she uses 2 or 3 cans diced tomatoes to make it more saucy)

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium high heat
Add Turkey, onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally for 5 to 8 min, or until turkey is no longer pink.
Add cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper, cook, stirring constantly, for one minute
Add beans and tomatoes (with liquid)  Bring to boil, Reduce heat to low and gently boil, stirring occasionally for 15 to 20 min, or until thickened
Serve warm, sprinkled with cilantro.

YUMMY!
