Louise has been craving my turkey burgers since we haven’t had them in a while. It’s been too cold to grill so I’m just going to sear them on my stovetop.
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE BURGER:
Ground turkey, buns, onion.
SPICES:
Garlic Powder, Turmeric, Pepper, Salt.
STEP 1
Puree one medium onion. If you don’t have a food processor you can grate the onion using a cheese grater. This is much more painful to do but whatever, you do what do got to do.
Louise wants to help but you can hardly tell by the looks of her. Ms. Moody in da house!
So that’s how the pureed onions should look.
Add the onions to the ground turkey.
STEP 2
Now to add the spices. SALT.
(Amount depends on your own taste.)
Thelma steps in for a second to help.
PEPPER.
But, Louise gets jealous and quickly steps in again.
TURMERIC.
AHHHH!!! Yikes! Not that much turmeric!
Louise doesn’t realize that there is not one of those screens with holes to prevent too much from coming out.
I had to scoop some of it out.
Turmeric is great for a subtle taste and for giving the burger meat some color when it browns.
GARLIC POWDER.
I ran out of garlic so I’m using garlic powder. If you have garlic, mince up about 4-5 cloves and add it to your mix.
I also add a little tad of olive oil since the ground turkey is really sticky. You don’t want it to stick to your hands when you’re shaping the patties.
STEP 3
Make the patties. Trying to avoid touching raw meat as much as possible, I tell Dick to do the burgers.
Put some oil on your pan and sear it on both sides until brown.
SERVE IT UP!
Serve up your burgers on buns.
Ahem, patience people!
Put out a plate with toppings.
Lettuce, tomato, onions, avocados, pickles.
We didn’t have any but I usually like having cheese and mushrooms.
DINNER AND A MOVIE.
We set up a picnic area in the living room with an old blanket we have that we don’t mind getting dirty.
That way, we can watch a movie we rented.
An absolute OLDIE but GOODIE.
BIG BUSINESS!!
If you haven’t seen this movie with Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin, YOU ARE MISSING OUT!
It’s hilarious!!!
Two twins from very different economic backgrounds get swapped at birth, one each.
Both Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler are AMAZING and super funny!!
Lucy Lu and I used to watch this OVER and OVER again when we were kids.
MAKE YOUR OWN.
Alright everyone, make your own.
Avocados on burgers are fantastic!
This look means, “This burger is absolutely INCREDIBLE!”
SUCCESS!
LOL
