Turkey burgers

I made turkey burgers!  A little worcestshire, a chopped up green peppers and onions were mixed into the burger and then I grilled them on my charcoal grill.  I chopped some potatoes into chunks, coated them with some melted butter and then put them in the oven for 30 minutes or so.  Turned out great!

I put some pepper jack cheese on the burgers and some spring mix lettuce and served them on toasted (on the grill) kaiser rolls.

BowTie Pasta and Sauce

Boil the Bow Tie Pasta.  Cook the chicken and chop into small pieces.  Take some green peppers brown them with the cooked chicken.  Pour the sauce in with the chicken and mix.  Mix together with bowtie pasta and dump into a pyrex pan.  Cover with Parmesan Cheese and bake for 15 mins at 375.

If you haven’t noticed, I have a few variations on this same dish.  It’s delicious, cheap and easy.  That’s what it’s all about folks.

Turkey Burger Spaghetti

After my summer hiatus from trying to make much or tell you guys about it, I’m back.  I’m back but with a fairly simple recipe

I browned the turkey burger with some green peppers.

Added some Ragu with Garlic Pepper and Onion (I told you I was feeling lazy) and mixed all of this together.

And then put it over some boiled vermicelli noodles.

Boom.  Lazy lunch for about a week for about $9.  It’s about saving money people, eating good, and not gaining a ton of weight.  Mission accomplished.

Burger Adaptations

I wanted a burger, but lately I’ve been trying to avoid eating junk (for the most part) so I decided to switch over to a turkey burger.  In my brief experience with turkey burgers though, it is a bit of a challenge to keep them from being dry.  To try and avoid this, I made some minor adaptations.

I used a pound of turkey burger and about a half cup of frozen onions and frozen green peppers (both defrosted) and dumped all of that into a big bowl.  In the big bowl, I mashed and folded the mixture until the green peppers and onions were mixed into the meat.  Then I formed them into patties that were a bit larger than the buns I had.

I cooked the burgers on a Foreman Grill (since I have no real grill – this will be fixed soon.  I’m looking at one with a smoker).  I put them on a bun with A-1 and some pre-made cole slaw.

The peppers and onions were really good, but I think hot peppers or chopped mushrooms would also be great.  Again, as I’ve said before on this blog – adapt your food to add things that YOU like, not just blindly doing things.  You’ll enjoy your food a lot more and be much more likely to eat at home, save money and enjoy doing it (not to mention eating healthier).
