Kid’s Turtle Burgers, not the healthiest in the book, but for sure on of the most appealing visually, will make sure your kid eats their protein portion for sure!
You can try something different by using cooked carrots instead of hot dogs and lettuce instead of cheese and achieve much healthier version without affecting that visual part, which for kids is the most important.
