Wow, that looks terrific! Sounds like a meal to remember!

Decided on fettuccine with shrimp and chicken sausage in a creamy Cajun sauce.

I know I rarely post on this thread, but having seen a tip from Alex Guarnascelli on IG, I decided to try it… Sear turkey burgers in oil, then add 1-2” of chicken or veg stock and cover them until they’re fully cooked. These were fantastic and I’ll never cook them any other way indoors! Pictures and plating are not going to win Chopped in this case, but here you go. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

My fam does same thing with breaded turkey cutlets, def makes it much less prone to drying out.

Hope it was an enjoyable meal…reminds me it’s been a long time since I had a turkey burger. I wonder if anyone around here makes a good one?

↑↑↑↑ @CurlzNJ seems to make a good one. Not sure if she’s currently offering outdoor dining or is takeout only.

Livotti’s has very good chicken and turkey burgers.

Correct. I do, but at this time, I’m not cooking for the masses. :rofl: :joy: :rofl:

When I had a grill (far too long ago), I made turkey burgers on a regular basis. The secret is to add stuff that will keep the meat moist, which is why I loved the indoor cooking method I tried! In this case, there was shredded zucchini, 1/2 a bunch of fresh parsley, Dijon, and a bunch of dry spices in the mix. HIGHLY recommend you give it a try!

I use a Wegman’s recipe:
1 lb Ground Turkey
1 cup firmly packed baby spinach (1 1/2 oz), chopped
1 Tbsp Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
1 1/2 oz Crumbled Feta, about 1/2 cup
1/4 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp black Pepper

I add tzatziki (greek yogurt, shredded and strained cucumber, lemon juice, salt and pepper) and red onion slices

Wegman’s had some nice ribeyes this morning. I’ve been perfecting my kalbi recipe and so far the mix I like is equal parts of the chicken and pork marinade and Mogo’s hot sauce mixed with a heaping tablespoon of the gochujang. Before cooking I sprinkle liberally with my secret ingredient - hot flv. marinated salty powder. I put that sh*t on everything.


I brush part of the mixture on the meat and let it marinate for a few hours. Before the steaks hit the hot pan or grill I dry them well, then sprinkle with my secret ingredient. Once they are done and rested I brush the meat with the rest of the marinade.

Sorry, can’t type anymore, eating.

Tried expanding my range with some shrimp lo mein. The subbed Manischewitz egg noodles worked out but used too much soy.

That’s the stuff!!

There are 3 ingredients in it; white pepper, salt, and spice. I’ve been using it for years and I still have no idea what “spice” means. All I know is that if added to any Asian dish I cook it makes it taste better. I wish I had more information for you, but that’s all I know.

Also, the $11 Amazon price is ridiculous. The little bottles ( I’ve never seen a bigger size ) are about $2 at our local Asian Food Market in Marlboro.

Those look amazingly easy! I wonder if you can use an immersion blender, instead of a regular blender. Limited counterspace keeps my blender in the basement.
