A tomato sauce recipe for mussels is great if you don't like the usual wine recipes (like me!). There is no salt or butter. Here's a tip to make sure mussels are fresh: tap the opening of the mussel on a hard surface, if the shell closes you've got yourself some nice fresh mussels!

Moist Turkey Burgers
I changed the recipe to make these deliciously juicy turkey burgers for more people. I caramelized the onions to give them more depth of flavor. I also added Dijon mustard and real garlic instead of garlic powder. I also cut down on the amount of bread crumbs and made them out of whole wheat bread to make them a little healthier. I also omitted the soy sauce for the same reason. They came out great. The only thing I would do differently next time is to give them just a little heat.
