Turkey Leek Burger


Once I get a craving for a burger I can not replace it. This burger was in part inspired by the Scottish poet, Robert Burns. A food ode to him one might say. I took extra lean ground turkey and added some chopped leeks, a bit of oatmeal, an egg, sage, salt, pepper and a couple of good shots of Scottish whisky. Mixed it all up in a bowl. Shaped the mixture into five patties. Grilled them in a pan until golden brown and cooked all the way through.



This is how I plated it. With a simple kale salad and dressed the burger with Fortnum's Piccadilly Piccalilli. Moist, flavourful and it satisfied the craving  just nicely!

Burger Time


The weather is warming up and so the push for summer is beckoning. Nothing like enjoying a chicken burger on a Saturday evening for dinner. I grilled them stove top with a little olive oil and mixed in seasonings, breadcrumbs and smoked paprika. I served it with lettuce red onion and dijon chardonnay mustard. You can tell from the picture I added a bit more dijon. The only thing missing was a sliver of parmesan cheese. - jw
