sasyecats: Anyone have a great Turkey Burger recipe?
I can't eat beef and Grilling season is here, so I need another option.
I use ground turkey alot..For meatballs in spaghetti, meatloaf, lasagne, and burgers. The trick is to use spices and some soy sauce to flavor the meat. For turkey burger I put a little season salt in the meat and a little soy sauce, mix it up and shape into a patty, then melt a small amount of butter in the pan or margarine let it lightly brown first then put the patty in the pan and cook well on both sides untill cooked all the way through. I also sometimes put a slice of cheese on top to make a cheese burger..
Witchaywoman: There are a lot of things you can make on a grill. You can wrap delicate veggie dogs and burgers in foil to grill them.
You can gill all kinds of vegs in foil packets like tomatoes, onions, nushrooms, and whatever you like grilled.
You can make bread in foil. South Africans make stew in special pots. You can make pulled pork.
Or, my dad makes these killer oregano potatoes in foil. You clean a potato, peel it, slice it in thin circles about 1/4 inch wide. Then, you put it in a foil packet with butter, onions, oregano, salt and pepper, and whatever other seasonings you think would be good. Use firm thick foil and the packets need to be openable with salad grabber tongs.
The other great recipe he used to make all the time was sauteed mushroom tops filled with butter. a drop of lemon juice, and lemon pepper. They were plain old mushrooms with the stumps removed. Sounds funky but they were GOOD. I don't remember the exact recipe but I remember a frying pan was used and each upside down mushroom cap got a chunk of butter and some seasoning.
Love bread and onions too on the grill.
We call them hobo potatoes, awesome
I've made mushrooms similar to that but with Olive oil, my oldest absolutely loves them, have to try it next time with butter.

Kids really like Soy Sauce bet they would like that.
I could make these for them, the spicy ones for me and freeze what I don't use.
I make all kinds of different burgers but one trick is to put a few drops of liquid Bovril in the mix it really boosts the taste...also if your making beef burgers use oatmeal to bind it. It removes the cholesteral and makes it much healthier.
Ccincy: If you don't wish to use all 6 burgers you can also freeze the ones you don't use.Below is a recipe I found online.
BLT Turkey Burger Serves 6
2 pounds ground turkey 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon fennel seed ground 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 3 tablespoons puréed roasted pepper 2 tablespoons parsley freshly chopped 2 teaspoons kosher salt 6 sesame seed buns 6 pieces iceberg lettuce 2 vine ripe tomatoes, cut into 6 thin slices 1 small red onion, cut into 6 thin slices 2 tablespoons each ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise
Gently combine first 7 ingredients. Shape into 6 round patties, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Heat large skillet or griddle to medium-high heat. Cook burgers about 7 minutes per side until cooked though. Toast buns on the griddle, cut side down, just until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Build burgers with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, ketchup, mustard and mayo and cover with the top bun.
Try crumbled blue cheese (melt while grilling), crispy bacon and dress the rest the way you like. Season before grilling with worcestershire, salt and pepper.
I see you are in Iowa, as a great side item get some fresh corn on the cob and steam over beer (don't dunk the ears) for 5-7 minutes. This makes the corn extra sweet. Season to taste.
