Mushrooms & Onions Topping On Turkey Burgers
I decided to add a twist to the turkey burgers that I made the other night for dinner. Why? Because I like to twist things… I think I’ve used that joke before in one of the recipes here. It wasn’t funny before, and it’s not funny now. Whatevs, I’m still adorable. *AHEM*.
Anyhoooooo, so back to the turkey burgers. The patties were from Food Lion. They were already formed into perfect rounds so you can just get the same patties from any grocery store. My husband is so used to my terrible burger-patty skillz that he said he’s going to teach me one day how to make perfect burger patties so when he eats his burgers things won’t be flying out of the plate. Hmm, hellleerrrr, the patties were store-bought so I guess I’m not the only one who’s got burger-patty problems. BOO-YAH!
Alright alright…. on to the mushrooms and onions toppings…
4th Of July Double-Cheese Sliders
I made these sliders for our 4th of July feast. They’re just like burgers but in smaller sizes that are just too cute to eat. Well, of course we ate them but they’re just cute as buttons I couldn’t help but admire my masterpiece, before I devoured one after another, and another.
Bacon & Feta Cheese Burger
Along with the black and blue burger that my husband made this past Saturday, he also made Bacon & Feta Cheese Burger. We got a good deal from Food Lion on the Crumbled Blue Cheese and Feta Cheese. 2 for $5 so we got both and Hubs made 2 kinds of burgers. I love it when he makes burgers for dinner coz he’s soooo good at making patties. Perfectly round shaped patties that are thick and juicy. I suck at making patties. I asked to video-tape a tutorial of making perfect patties but he growled and said he just wanted to eat. I don’t blame him coz he was hungry and I was too. He and I haven’t eaten anything at all that day. Which is probably why we took both kind of cheeses. You know what they say about going to the grocery store when you’re hungry. DON’T!. Unless you’re making 2 kinds of burgers of course 
.
INGREDIENTS:
2-3 pounds of ground beef
1 egg
sprinkle of dried oregano
sprinkle of dried basil
sprinkle of salt
1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
generous sprinkling of McCormick Perfect Pinch Vegetable seasoning
Treasure Cave Crumbled feta cheese
3-4 strips of bacon, cooked
burger buns
1/4 cup of melted butter
Combine the ground beef, dried oregano, egg, dried basil, Worcestershire sauce and salt together. Mix ‘em all up and shape the patties. 4-5 thick burger patties.
Cook the patties on an electric griddle or grill. Cook one side. Halfway through cooking, sprinkle McCormick Perfect Pinch Vegetable seasoning on top of the patties. Continue to cook according to how you like your patties. Then flip to cook the other side. Sprinkle more McCormick Perfect Pinch Vegetable seasoning on top.
Brush melted butter on the inside of the buns. Slightly toast them in the griddle.
Assemble the burgers while the patties are warm. Lower bun, patty, bacon strips, crumbled feta cheese, then the top bun. Sliced tomatoes and lettuce are optional. Serve with broccoli coleslaw on the side.
Turkey Burger With Pimiento Cheese
My husband made lunch yesterday and he made Turkey Burgers with Pimiento Cheese. I contributed by putting the curly fries on a sheet pan, then sticking it in the oven to cook. He’s sooo good at making patties. They’re always in perfect round shape. He has taught me over and over again on how to make patties but I can never get it right. Maybe I’ll shoot a tutorial video next time he makes burgers. Meanwhile, here’s the recipe for Turkey Burgers.
INGREDIENTS:
about 2-3 pounds of ground turkey
1 egg
sprinkles of seasoned salt
sprinkle of dried basil
a drop of Worcestershire sauce
fresh bread crumbs (slices of bread, pulsed on a blender)
Pimiento Cheese
Burger Buns
Using your clean hands, combine everything together in a huge bowl. Once mixed, form a small ball in your hand then flatten to form a burger patty. Do this until you have all your patties.
Cook each side of the patties on a griddle or grill ‘em outside. He used a griddle which was good coz Hubs also slightly toasted the insides of the buns with butter. Just a few seconds on the griddle.
Place the patties on top of the bottom buns, then generously slather Pimiento Cheese on top of the patties, then place the half of the bun on top.
Voila! Serve with curly fries. Pimiento Cheese is sold in a container. That, on top of the turkey patties, with slightly toasted buns? Ahh, heaven.
Turkey Burger W/ Broccoli Slaw
I found these 4-pc pack of wheat rolls at Wal-Mart and thought they would be really good as burger buns. At first, my husband wasn’t too sure about it but then I told him my idea of adding coleslaw on top of the patties so I was able to convince him in the end. We both decided ground turkey would compliment wheat rolls and coleslaw.
INGREDIENTS:
1 and 1/2 pound of ground turkey
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
sprinkles of dried herbs : basil, oregano, thyme (or Italian seasoning)
1 tbsp of Aromatica Organics sweet lemon pepper
1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
more dried herbs : basil, oregano, thyme (or Italian seasoning)
a little bit of oil
cheese slices
broccoli coleslaw
For the broccoli coleslaw : combine 1 bag of broccoli coleslaw mix (refer to this link for a picture), 2 huge spoonfuls of mayonnaise, 1 tsp os salt, sprinkle of peppers, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar and 1 tbsp of sugar. Mix everything together, put in a covered container and store in the fridge until ready to plate the burgers. Here’s how it should look like.
For the turkey patties :
Heat oil in a pan. Cook onions, garlic, and dried hers seasoning.
Add the cooked onions into the bowl of ground turkey. Add just a little bit more of fried herbs into the beef. Add 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce and 1 tsp of Aromatica Organics sweet lemon pepper as well.
Mix with hands and form patties. Cook each patties using an electric griddle. Or a pan or grill, whichever you prefer or whatever way is available. About 8-10 minutes on each sides. Or less. just don’t burn the patties.
Put the slices of cheese on top to melt slightly.
Carefully slice the wheat rolls. Place the turkey patty with cheese on top of the bottom roll, then add the broccoli coleslaw on top. Finish with the top portion of the wheat roll.
A scrumptious and most filling burger I’ve had in a long time.

Black and Blue Burger
When you hear the term “black and blue”, it conjures an image far far away from food, right? Well, today might sort of change that. My husband made his Black & Blue Burger and as usual it was great. “Black” comes from the blackened beef patties, while “blue” comes from blue cheese.
BACON & CHEESE BURGER ON WHEAT BUNS
Burger King’s Burger King Double Stacker is currently my favorite from BK these days. That bacon is really good. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a Junior Whopper kind of girl hehe. But yeah, Burger King Double Stacker is good. We do indulge on fast food burgers once in a while, especially when out on errands and we had to grab something quick. However, as much as possible, we like making burgers at home as well. Hubs and I don’t really like the premade patties. We prefer making them ourselves. My husband’s “signature” burger to make is the Black & Blue Burger. I just make regular cheese burgers with lettuce and tomato slice sometimes. Last week day I decided to make Bacon & Cheese Burger.
