WAITING TO GRILL

This was the scene the other night waiting to grill fish. We had to outwit and out wait the showers that kept blowing though.
We finally had success and managed not to drown while grilling, sometimes I wonder about this spring.
Last night we grilled turkey burgers. I took a photo as they were so tender and tasty but the picture was not good.
This was one wonderful turkey burger and here is what I did.

1/2 pound ground white turkey(makes two patties) two tablespoons mayo
two tablespoon of my zucchini relish(you could use pickle relish)
a small amount of minced onion
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon horseradish
four slices of jack cheese
Italian bread crumbs to bind mixture. Does not take much as you want the mixture very moist and not dry.
Mix all together except the cheese and form two patties. Put patties on plate with wax paper and tuck into fridge for a hour or so. These are soft so handle them carefully.

Mop sauce.
1/3 cup your fave bbq sauce
1/4 cup orange juice
a good squeeze of honey
Mix well.

Prepare grill and spray with cooking oil
Gently place patties on hot grill.   Leave the first side down until grill marks form. Coat the top of the patties with mop sauce and turn. Now slather mop sauce on the top of the grilled side. When the bottoms are grilled flip one more time and add more sauce and the cheese slices. When the cheese is mostly melted remove from grill. Cover with foil while you make the toast. We used sourdough bread and cut it to size for the patties. I do  not like more bread than is required.
We spread mustard and mayo on the toast and added the patties, tomatoes, sweet onion rings and romaine lettuce leaves.
They are tall turkey burgers and a big mouthful. They were tender and juicy I feel that relish mixed in with the turkey made that so. Just make sure not to over cook.
I just served them with Kettle chips.
We like turkey burgers if they are not dry. Healthier for you than burger and a nice change from the norm.

Well we have a little outing planned so I must get ready for that so best get at it.
Till later.
