You Can't Win 'Em All


Tonight I tried RR's Bacon, Leek and Tomato Soup and Nikki's Turkey burgers.  Burgers were awesome.  The soup was Ok.  I will spare you that recipe as it was pretty boring.  These turkey burgers are great and pretty easy.  Connor ate an entire burger and a half tonight!!!  He should sleep well :)

A little tip: those of you with the PC mini food chopper.  Try using it to "grate" the carrots and zucchini.  It comes a little course but is much easier than shredding and tastes just as good.

Turkey Burgers
1 lb ground turkey

1 medium zucchini, grated
1 medium carrot, grated
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the turkey, zucchini, carrot, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and egg. Form the mixture into patties.  

I baked the burgers on my PC stone at 400, 8 minutes each side and then broiled for 1 minute, flipped, placed cheese on and we were golden.

They are excellent on the grill...but in the winter this is a great alternative.
