I thought the only way to make turkey burger edible was to incorporate finely ground unicorn horn into the mix???

That looks fantastic!



You should enter that in the Cornish Hen Throwdown, Gore.

Thanks Moose, it really was fantastic, and I found that despite the mayo and onions and soy sauce, that turkey burgers taste remarkably like bacon. They might even be my second-favorite food after bacon.



BTW, I didn't know that Cornish Hens and Turkeys are the same. I've never been to Cornwall and didn't cook the turkey there, so I'd probably be DQ'ed anyway.

I've got a few pair I'm no longer wearing. I'll have to give this a try. Thanks!

You could always cook more turkey burgers with a coffee rub and enter the "coffee" throwdown, just to be on the safe side...

I'm not sure how coffee would go with the onions in the burgers. I mean, Trader Joe's sells lots of chit, but onion-flavored coffee isn't one of them. If Trader Joe's doesn't sell it, then it's got to be REALLY bad.

No such thing as an edible turkey burger. It’s an urban myth fabricated by vegans.

We had turkey burgers on the small BGE tonight. Mayo, raw onions, fresh jalapeños, Famous Daves spicy pickles, and Famous Daves Devil Spit barbecue sauce. Enough to warm up my mouth a little. Cheap and easy snack.

I have eaten and enjoyed turkey burgers. They definitely need help, but it's possible for them to taste good.

When I have made turkey burgers I buy the regular ground turkey which is ground from mostly dark meat and plenty of fat, the ground skinless breast are just to lean and flavorless IMO.

Turkey, like chicken has little fat, therefore little flavor and would be dry. Mayo is fat. Soy and onions provide moisture.

But, the best way to make a turkey (or chicken) burger palatable is to use beef.
