Recipe Reviews
Zosia from Toronto, ON
These were really very good, lean, yet juicy burgers.
The extra lean ground turkey is simply seasoned with a creole seasoning blend (either purchased or made from the recipe given in the book) and sautéed onion and sweet peppers. The cooked burgers are then topped with an easy tomato-corn salsa. I was concerned that the burgers wouldn’t stay together as there was no binder in the recipe…..it turns out that small amount of oil used to sauté the vegetables, and the vegetables themselves act as a binder and add moisture to the burger.
Though really flavourful and quite delicious, I found the recipe to be too salty. I used the creole seasoning recipe, p348, which includes salt but the burgers required extra which, in hindsight, I should have omitted. The salsa also called for a specific amount of salt, which I added, and again, was too much. Going forward with recipes from this book, I’ll just ignore the quantities provided and add salt to taste.
This is definitely a recipe to repeat.
