Remember Those Turkey Burgers From Last Summer?
|
I'm still making them! To refresh, last summer, upon seeing a recipe for Oprah's favorite turkey burgers made by Mindy Kaling in Katie Couric's newsletter, I had to give them a try. The recipe was like no other turkey burger I had ever made, calling for blending together an apple, cilantro, scallions, mango chutney, soy sauce, and a few other seasonings in a food processor, mixing the herby spiced purΓ©e with the ground turkey, then forming and grilling the patties. The recipe did not call for eggs or bread crumbs or mayonnaise or oil, ingredients so often included in turkey burger recipes to prevent the patties from being dry, which turkey burgers can be due to the leanness of the meat. But these burgers were not at all dry. They were moist and juicy and oh so flavorful! They soon became a frequently requested meal by my children, which I happily honored, given their ease and deliciousness. Something I love about the recipe is that the shaped patties can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, then cooked as needed. One thing I did not love about the recipe was the measurements, which called for 1.5 pounds of ground turkey, when turkey typically comes in 1-pound packages. Doubling the recipe yielded a few too many patties for my needs, but scaling the recipe up by 1.33 worked perfectly. I've finally added the recipe to the blog with the scaled-up measurements and a few other tiny changes and notes. The patties can be made on a grill pan or broiled or on an outdoor grill with the help of a grill mat β see the recipe box for all of the details. As always, I hope you love them. Have a great weekend ππππ

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 β sometimes with honey, sometimes with olive oil, sometimes with more or less water and different flours, etc. β 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...
