…but I feel fine. 
I’ve started cooking. I have several recipes that I have been using, and I want to share them with you. I don’t cook much, but what I’m sharing will be tasty. Just don’t expect me to sound like anything except a cooking novice. This recipe is for some yummy burgers I like to call: Angela’s Taco Turkey Burgers. If you think turkey burgers are too bland, I agree. I have spiced mine up. I simply use taco seasoning mixes. Here are my directions:
Accidentally Angela's Taco Turkey Burgers - Yum!
Ingredients:
21 oz package turkey, I use the leanest they have
1 package taco seasoning, I look for packages without MSG as this can give me horrific headaches
1/2 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
3 Tablespoons olive oil
Place turkey in a large bowl. I like to squish it up some, then add the taco seasoning and squish some more. If I use the onion, this is when I add it as well, but I haven’t used any the last couple of times because I liked the seasoning alone so well.
Once everything is mixed well together, pour your olive oil into a skillet or frying pan and start heating it. I like for the oil to be hot when I add the burgers. When you cook with lean turkey meat, you have to add some kind of oil to help cook it. Sorry I don’t sound all technical with this, as discussed earlier I’m not really a cook. I start the pan on medium high, and keep an eye on it during this next step. While the oil is heating, divide your turkey into 6 or so burgers. I did 4 really fat burgers one time, and 6 not so fat ones another time. The fatter the patty the longer it will need to cook.
Fry Baby Fry!
Once the oil is hot, I lay my patties in it and turn it down to medium heat, then usually cover the pan and let the burgers sit in the heat and cook for about 10 minutes or so. Then, raise the lid carefully and turn those puppies over! I may turn them over again to be sure they are done all the way through.
Start to finish this takes around 30 minutes. I cut up the lettuce, tomato and onion while the burgers were cooking, and opened a can of chili with beans and warmed that up. When the burgers were done, we threw some cheese on them and had some dinner! They were great. Had 2 leftover patties and used those for lunch the next day. I think they tasted even better. Boyfriend was very happy with my Taco Burgers.
I invite you to give this simple recipe a try, and let me know what you think! Thanks for hanging out with me today, all this talk about food is making me hungry. Need to go find a snack! Later, Angela
