i made irish turkey burgers tonight.
the burgers are called "irish" burgers because it was my paternal grandmothers recipe, a heneghan from co. mayo, that was passed down to my mom who taught me.
i started with a little over a pound of ground turkey, and mixed in a lot of sauteed onion, some shredded white bread, powdered garlic, s&p, and some dried herbs. they're pan fried open over medium high heat at first to develop a thick crust, then covered and finished over low heat so they steam a bit until cooked through. the steaming keeps them super juicy.
they're really somewhere between a burger and a mini meatloaf, each one ends up being 8 to 10 ozs..
sides were baked ore ida steak fries, and some sliced vine tomatoes.
