Last night we went to a local restaurant that was giving 50% of the check to the Democratic Party as a fund raiser. Tonight I am back on track with cooking.
Turkey Burgers with wasabi mayo, 6 servings, Get Grilling Coookbook from Food Network
Sauce
4t water
4 t wasabi powder
½ C mayonnaise
Burgers
2 ¼ # ground turkey, 6 scallions white and green finely chopped
3T soy sauce
1 T Mirin
1 ½ T dark sesame oil
1t kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil
6 sesame seed hamburger buns
1 ½ Hass avocados, halved, pitted and thinly sliced
6 slices ripe tomatoes
1 ½ C alfalfa sprouts
1/3 C pickled ginger
Prepare the mayonnaise. Stir the water and wasabi powder and let rest for 5 minutes. Add the mayonnaise and whisk together.
Next mix the ground turkey with the next 5 ingredients. Preheat the grille to medium hot and grease the grille. Put the burgers on for 14 – 16 minutes. Toast the buns. Bring them in and top with the mayonnaise, avocado, tomato, pickled ginger, and alfalfa sprouts. These were good, but very filling.
I found some frozen French fries in the freezer while looking for the hazelnuts, so I fixed them on bake as I had not fixed lunch for Jim.
Green Beans with Hazelnuts
1T EVOO
1T butter
1# green beans trimmed
Salt and pepper
2T chopped hazelnuts, toasted
1 T fresh lemon juice
Heat the oil and butter together. Add the green beans, season with salt and pepper and cover for 5-8 minutes, tossing occasionally until the beans are crisp tender. Stir in the hazelnuts and lemon juice. Serve immediately.
We had a 2004 Zinfandel (Paso Robles) from Thacher Winery, Saratoga, CA. Excellent Zin with wonderful aromas and great flavor.

I have some wasabi that we purchased at Penzy's and only used it for one recipe. So this is another opportunity! Will put this on our menu for later this month. Sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteWe usually make the turkey burgers from Julie Russo's Good Food cookbook. These burgers include some sirloin and hold together very well.
I thought these were very good and really filling, but Jim managed to eat 3! I looked up Russo's burgers. We will have to try them.
