Oprah's Turkey Burger Recipe + A Favorite Summer Squash Salad, Peach-Frangipane Galette & More
|
Hi Friends, Last night for dinner I made Oprah's turkey burgers, which I learned about via Mindy Kaling several months ago and have made half a dozen times since as my family loves them. I am typically not drawn to recipes calling for ground turkey, which is on the lean side and which can taste dry, but this one, which includes mango chutney, apple, scallions, curry powder, and other seasonings sounded so good. Plus, Mindy made it look so easy. And it is! In short, you purée all of the seasonings in the food processor, giving the cilantro, apple, and scallions a rough chop before doing so. You then combine the herby, spiced purée with the ground meat, form your patties, and grill away. I first made the burgers on my grill pan indoors, but in the past few months, we've been using the outdoor grill and these grill mats, which one of you introduced me to, singing its praises for pizza, which I have yet to try, but which work beautifully for turkey burgers, which are on the soft side. The original recipe calls for 1.5 pounds of ground turkey, which is kind of annoying because ground turkey typically comes in 1-pound packages. Last night I scaled the recipe up by a third — for those of you challenged by math, enlist your middle schooler to help with this calculation or, as I learned, multiply each ingredient by 1.33333 — which will give you the quantities needed for 2 pounds of meat and which will yield eight nice-sized patties (roughly 5 ounces each). I love these burgers with tzatziki though homemade raita would be delicious, too. Last night I served the burgers aside this raw summer squash salad, a recipe I love this time of year, one that is especially good with the first summer squash of the season.

Friends, hello! A week ago, I shared this sandwich bread recipe, and the most frequently asked question I've received since is: Could I make the loaf using whole wheat flour? I respond as I always do: Yes, you can, but keep in mind two things: 1.) the more whole wheat flour you use, the less lofty your loaf will be. 2.) Depending on the flour you are using, your bread might not necessarily be more nutritious. Why? It has to do with the milling. Most commercial flour on the market is made from...
Friends, hello. Last week I mentioned I had been working on a soft sandwich bread recipe and hoped to be able to share it soon... here it is! It's a no-knead, 6-ingredient recipe that takes about 5 minutes to stir together. Thanks especially to my oldest daughter, who brings a turkey sandwich to school for lunch nearly every day and who has no reservations sharing her opinions, the recipe has gone through many iterations these past few months. It started with the basic bread ingredients:...
Friends, hello. I was hoping to have something more exciting to share with you this weekend, namely a recipe for a very simple soft sandwich bread, which I've been making in various ways — sometimes with honey, sometimes with olive oil, sometimes with more or less water and different flours, etc. — since this past summer. The recipe is almost there... ... and I will share it as soon as it is. I have a simple sourdough sandwich bread recipe on the blog, and I've long wanted to include a...
