Crispy Skillet Turkey Burgers
"Cook’sCountry: A little bit of cheese goes a long way in helping these turkey burgers stay moist and aids a well-browned, crispy, cheesy crust around the edges of the burger. Plus, it creates juicy pockets of fat, which yields a more desirable interior texture. When shopping for ground turkey, look for 93 percent lean meat—NOT 99 percent lean. (Fat content is indicated on the label but is not always listed prominently.) Your best bet? Ask the butcher to grind it for you. The coarser grind of store-ground meat will give you the most tender, most juicy burger of all."

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
