What's Cooking? (New Jersey)

Eggs, bacon, veg, bread, butter.
While cooking bacon, how do you refrain from eating all the pieces from the first batch? These were just going to be for show but…

Also, do you cook your eggs in butter or oil? Used to be all butter but now I mix it up.

I use both these days…but I also consistently do a veggie/egg white omelet (more like a frittata); start w oil, finish with a little butter. :slight_smile:

Now you’re talking my kinda carbs! Are those homemade gnocchi? And I like to generous amount of cheese!

@heidicooksandbakes - they were Wegman’s gnocchi.

This is all homemade though. BBQ pizza with bbq sauce, cheddar cheese and bacon.

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
