But mostly as an accountability factor for me; sharing something different every other day for a month, would be a good way to make sure I'm not ALWAYS eating the same things all the time.
Variety = good. Monotony = bad.
My dearest friend Annie sacrificially sent me a great Turkey burger recipe via text message to try, and I KNOW these are delicious so what a great one to document!
The preparation and execution were going great - except I made one nearly catastrophic substitution : Coconut flour in place of Bread crumbs.
She specified using ample bread crumbs to 'soak up the moisture' and I thought, "No bread! No problem! Coconut flour will suck the moisture out of ANY Thing!" How deadly right I was.
The burgers were delicious, except they seemed almost designed to suck all the moisture from one's mouth as well. Eaten just a little too quickly they may cause one to require emergency Heimlich maneuvering. Yes, yes, I survived, but if you have enemies you may just invite them over and serve this. (Just kidding, even though I can destroy an easy recipe, I am confident YOU will make them perfect!)
1 lb Turkey, 1-2 eggs Chopped veggies of your choice I chose this time: zucchini, orange pepper, onion, and chopped spinach. |
Heat EVOO in a skillet Add veggies and saute til 'nice and sweaty' Combine turkey, egg, and some breadcrumbs or VERY little coconut flour in a bowl mix. |
Thanks, Annie! It was delicious as suggested on a bead of baby spinach with a touch of balsamic and oil ever so lightly drizzled.
sorry to hear that the coconut flour didn't work for you, friend. But I'm glad that you liked them anyway. I love making these because I can have them right along with everyone else's regular burgers (or anything else, really) and not feel deprived. Delicious!
