Herb filled turkey burger w/ mushroom onion on a kaiser roll

Such tasty combination. Give it try!

Serving for 2

Recipe makes 4 to 6 burgers

* I only used 4 patties and froze the other 2. 

Ingredients

1 lb Ground turkey meat (90% white meat 10% dark meat)

1 c watercress rinsed & chopped 

1 tbsp dried chives

1 tbsp garlic powder

Salt/black pepper to taste

1/4 c wheat bread a crumbs 

2 tbsp gram flour

2 tbsp Sofrito 

1 plum tomato sliced

1/2 c arugula 

2 slices of Jarlsberg Swiss cheese

1 tsp butter

2 tbsp olive oil 

2 kaiser rolls

1 tsp mayonnaise

1 tsp Dijon mustard

Topping

4 white button mushrooms sliced

1 small onion thinly sliced

1 tbsp Goya bitter orange

1 tbsp Goya red cooking wine 

1 tbsp olive oil 

Directions 

In a medium bowl add ground meat, garlic and sofrito. 

Then the herb (watercress), chives, salt/pepper, gram flour & wheat bread crumbs. 

Mix with fork so you won't over work the meat mixture but to toss evenly. Cover and set aside until ready to shape.

In the meantime, heat a skillet under medium heat and add oil, onion, mushrooms. Cook till onions are just about translucent. Then add the wine and the bitter orange. Stir with wooden spoon, turn off heat and set aside. 

On a medium skillet under med/high heat adding oil and butter. 

With clean hands begin to shape your burgers to the size of bread buns you are using. I shaped mines to my palm size and 1 1/4" thick which where small for my kaiser rolls. If you feel your meat mixture is too wet add more bread crumbs and gram flour. 

Lay your burgers into the skillet. Undisturbed for about 2 1/2 minutes. Then carefully, using a spatula flip your burgers and repeat same method. * you may drizzle just a bit of water to help steam the burgers through out and speed on cooking time. 

Meanwhile, begin to plate and dress your kaiser rolls. Coat each side of the buns with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.

On the bottom of the bun lay the arugula and tomato slices and sprinkle some black pepper. 

Heat your mushroom and onions for about a minute. Stir then turn off your mushroom/onion mix as well as the burgers.

Now transfer the burger w/ cheese on top of the tomato and arugula and then spoon the mushroom/onion toppings on top of the burger/cheese. 

** Be advised I improvised by doubling the burger patties to each kaiser roll to help cover the width of the buns. 

Voila! You have here a ridiculously delicious juicy herb filled turkey mushroom & onion burger. A true WINNER!!

Infused Yerba Mate, Peach , Green Tea w/ Red Ginseng Royal Jelly

I've been experimenting different tea brews lately and found this concoction quite delicious. So far this is a favorite. 

I added Yerba mate but sometimes leave it out. Either way its delicious. If you enjoy a more stronger tea then add the Yerba mate. 

Give it try. 

Ingredients 

1 32 oz Ball Mason jar with lid

1 twinings Peach cold brew iced tea bag

1 Twinning Green Tea decaf 

1 Trader Joe's Yerba Mate 

1 tbsp honey *optional

1 vial Red Ginseng Royal Jelly

1 rubber band

Tea kettle

Water for boiling

Directions

Boil water in your tea kettle. 

Meanwhile in a mason jar drop the Yerba mate (if you are using it) in the jar, use a rubber band to hold the other two teas like so: 

Once your water has boiled add it to your mason jar w/ teas. Be very careful for the jar will now be very hot. 

While this tea is hot you may add your honey (or sweetener or choice).

Let this tea blend cool a bit at room temperature. 

Once it's cooled add the red ginseng royal jelly. Place lid and refrigerate over night for a stronger brew or keep it as is. 

Discard tea bags once done. 

Serve chilled over ice. 

Bon Apetit.

1/4 fresh basil chopped

1 med red pepper diced

1 large tomato diced (or 1 c grape tomatoes chopped 

Vinaigrette 

1/4 c balsamic vinegar 

1/2 c good extra virgin olive oil 

1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

In a small bowl whisk vinaigrette ingredients together and set aside.

In a medium bowl add all your chopped eggplant, tomatoes, onion, basil and red pepper. Now add the vinaigrette and toss to coat evenly. Cover with Saran Wrap and chill for at least a half hour. The more it marinates the better. 

This salad can be made ahead of time. It is excellent salad to serve chilled or at room temperature.
