EDIT: Wow I posted this in the wrong forum. Can someone move it to nutrition?

Lately I have been getting sick of the menu I know how to cook. So I figured, 'why not post a recipe of mine on bf.net, and, hopefully, I will get to see what other people like to cook?'


Turkey Burger:

I don't have exact measurements on this recipe, I have just always improvised measurements. This recipe would be for ONE turkey burger, though you can obviously expand it

-1 slice of pepperjack cheese
-Guacamole (preferably spicy)
-About 1/4lb of lean ground turkey
-some pepper and salt
-a little bit of olive oil
-Wheat hamburger bun

1. Put your oven on "warm" or 200 degrees. Take bun, put cheese on one side of the bun, and leave both sides in the oven for the duration of cooking this recipe (Shouldn't be more than 15-20 mins).

2. Take ground turkey and work in just a little olive oil, and salt and pepper to your taste. After shaping the burger, use a fork to poke some holes in it so the insides cook faster.

3. If you have a george foreman type grill, they work wonderfully for cooking turkey burgers. Otherwise, you can just put a dab of olive oil or cooking spray in a pan and cook the burger in the pan. Make sure you cover the pan, as it will increase the pressure and cooking temperature, helping cook the burger's insides rather than just the outside.

4. When burger is cooked (you might have to rip apart the burger a bit to check the insides are cooked. IMO its better to just deal with a burger that's ripped in half rather than getting salmonella), remove buns from oven, put spicy guacamole on one side of the bun, and assemble your burger from there.

If you need a side, any sort of roasted vegetables works amazingly well with this recipe. I prefer asparagus and red potatos, but anything works really. Steamed veggies would go well too.

The pistachio substitution for pignola (pine nuts) makes for a totally different experience and it is good.

I need to make another batch real soon. It doesn't last long in my house.
