Joys of Grillin' - Turkey Burger!

every recipe that i searched on the web for turkey burger starts with "salt... pepper..." but i was always skeptical of how much salt & pepper were used for each burger patty. 

i had a pack of 1 lb ground turkey and i felt like a burger, so i made 4 burger patties this way:

Recipe:  Basic Turkey Burger

1 pack 1-lb ground turkey
olive oil
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
Worcestershire sauce
cheese - optional

Divide the ground turkey into 4 patties, making sure that the center of the patty is lightly pressed in (courtesy of Bobby Flay's grilling method!).  Lay it out on a plate for seasoning:  coat with olive oil, then generously douse with salt (about a teaspoon) and pepper (about half teaspoon).  Dab (quarter-sized) with Worcestershire sauce.  Flip the patties and season as well.

Grill the patties on a grill or in a medium-to-large-sized pan on medium-high heat.  When the burger is almost ready, place a slice of cheese on top and let it cook for a minute or until the cheese is lightly melted.

i also made caramelized onion:

1 large onion, sliced
1/4 TBS olive oil
1/4 TBS kosher salt
1 TSP fresh ground pepper

Heat the oil in the pan and add the ingredients.  Cook until brown, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

anytime i grill, i HAVE to have grilled corn on the cob! and while you can put a block of butter and make that corn soooo good, i've changed my method to keep it healthy and still tasty.

Recipe:  Grilled Corn on the Cob

corn on the cob - cleaned and mustache-free
olive oil
Season-All Salt
foil

Brush each corn with olive oil using a sauce brush.  Spread Season-All salt and cover each corn with foil and grill.

if you get a good quality (and plump) corn, this will be a hit!  better yet, you'll know that you are serving a healthy side.
