And done!  :cheers:

I'm not officially joining the contest, I'm just here for fun, so no time stamp or bite taken out. I already ate one of them, I couldn't resist, and the mushroom is WAY better than the fake veggie patties they sell. It's been a while since I made burgers, so this was fun, thanks Nix for letting me interrupt with my silliness!  :cheers:

Carry on making my mouth water guys...  :drool:  :D

Those look great!  :gimme:

I love a good portobello burger. Lots of umami. And I agree with you that the vegan/vegetarian 'fake meat' patties aren't that great. I'd rather do what you've done there and keep the food true to itself.  :tu:

Sorry you didn't enter with that one, looks like a winner!

Thanks Nix, I think it's maybe a good entry, but I have nothing else up my sleeve!  :D

Also I don't use anything but my Spydie for food prep, so the Vic should go to a good home.  :cheers:

I've stuffed and grilled portobellos with a garlicky pesto and grilled them. Good stuff.  Portobellos are so versatile!

This one is a little bit different, still beef, (still no bun). Patty is a bit peppery this time, just black and white.

I wanted to make the "bun" out of eggplant, but my eggplant wasn't big enough, so it's just got eggplant slices, still has lettuce (rocket), cheese (cheddar) and egg (chicken), a touch of paprika on the egg, served with sprouts (not quite thick cut beer battered chips, but what can you do), I went for horseradish cream for the condiment, adding to the over-all zingy flavour.

Burger #2


Earlier I think I mentioned I had planned a turkey burger for this GAW thread. Let's see if this works for you guys.......

Turkey is shockingly low in fat, so I figured I'd do a couple of things to try to keep it moister. I added an egg, some ginger juice, and a few bread crumbs (to soak up juices). For flavor, I mixed in a bit of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chopped green onions.

Here's a Fuzzbucket-style shot of the gang getting ready to mix it up:




Patties formed up and ready for an hour in the refrigerator:




This was a case where I did try to mix the meat, spices, and onions together. However, I thought that some of the additions would keep the burger from being to dense (and that seemed to be the case)

While the burgers were chilling, I made a Satay-style peanut sauce. (Peanut butter, soy sauce, water, crushed garlic, pinch of sugar, juice of a lime, etc.....)

With Turkey burgers (all burgers really), it's important to make sure the grill is clean and hot, otherwise you may be facing a bit of a mess......  I seemed to get thing dialed in this evening:




Now....I'm sorry to say I inadvertently deleted the photo of the burger all assembled, but with the top bun off so you could see the whole thing before I took a bite. I topped the burger with peanut sauce, cucumber slices, shredded carrots that had been 'quick pickled' in rice wine vinegar, cilantro, and some hot sauce.

But all you get to see is this:




Sorry.


However, I did take a post-bite picture:




As you can see, I got a bit enthusiastic with the peanut sauce (#becasuepeanutbutter), but the whole mess was great. I served steam asparagus along side the burger in stead of fries. The asparagus was great with the peanut sauce. Mrs Nix again opted for no bun, but declared it one of her favorite meals ever. I'm not sure about that, but for a turkey burger, it seemed mighty fine and flavorful.

In hindsight, a sturdier bun would have been helpful, but the cheap white bun did the job of conveying the tasty burger to my appetite. One idea for the next version of this: a teaspoon of Madras curry powder mixed into the meatloaf burger mix. Oh, I think that idea has legs......

p.s. For those considering entering the contest, you don't need a whole bunch of photos (although everybody has done an awesome job so far of documenting there burgers). The only require photo is the "bite photo" as pictured above.

Bon appetit!   :cheers:

I went basic with this one...its a 2am snack after all.
The burger is marinated in equal parts steak sauce & worcestershire with a dash of ghost pepper sauce; easymelt queso is poured over it; all on a griddle toasted bun
(yes I always leave a griddle on my stove just for toasting, quesadillas, and pancakes)

The whisp in the bite pic is not a lens flair...the burger was still steaming(took 3 tries to catch it)

Edit:
 EasyMelt is basicly the local brand Velveeta & has a little tomato & pepper in it.

Kottsie, Turkey works really well. I find that it is mild in flavor, so I like to add some spices, too.  :tu:

Noa, I gotta say, that is a great looking burger. I love the straight forward, iconic, approach.

How much heat did the Ghost pepper sauce bring to the late-night snack?

But....for a Turkey burger, I think you have to do something......so the meatloaf gripe, while fair, shall be dismissed under the "For the Good of the Burger" clause as found in International Standards of Burgers and Road Food

Had to Google leeks.. Used some in today's dinner, not a big fan of the taste of its own but in stews it does do a good job so I might try that

I prefer green onions. Sharper flavor and the y are easier to chop and cook.

I love leeks in soups and stews!


(I'm already looking forward to my next burger..... :drool:)
