Recipes

Mushroom Turkey burgers:

1 lb ground turkey burger

1/2-3/4c chopped wild mushrooms

1/2 onion chopped

2 palms full bread crumbs

1 egg

2 t italian seasoning

1 T olive oil

1 T butter

2 garlic cloves

In skillet melt butter and oil over med-high heat, add onion, garlic and mushrooms, saute 5-1 minutes. In large bowl combine all ingredients, including slightly cooled mushroom saute, combine with hands.

Form 4-5 burger patties, grill on george foreman grill 4-5 minutes, or BBQ outside.

These are good with or without a bun, my husband likes some bacon on top, and an ear of corn on the side.

Pulled Pork Sandwiches:

Place one package (about 1.5-3lb) of country style pork ribs, or any lean pork, in crockpot. Season with salt and pepper and add either water to cover meat or a small bottle of BBQ sauce, whatever flavor you like best, I use a combo mainly BBQ sauce with just a little water. Place on low for about 8-10 hours. Shred pork when completed and place on bun and top with fresh coleslaw. For coleslaw mix chopped cabbage with 1/2c mayo, 1T milk, 1T sugar and 1 t vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.

Shoyu Chicken:

1/2 c shoyu (soy sauce)

1/3 c sugar

1 T sesame oil

1 clv garlic

sesame seeds

pepper flakes

sliced green onion

chicken wings or tenders

Coat chicken in small amount of flour then pan fry over med-high until cooked through, turning only once...about 2-4 minutes per side..depending on thickness of chicken tenders/wings. Then place on paper towel to drain excess oil. Heat remaining ingredients in small bowl and microwave until hot. Dip cooked chicken in sauce before setting on top of a bed of rice. This dish goes well with a side of corn.

Note: my husband made this even better. He coated chicken tenders in flour, salt and pepper, then eggs, then pankp bread crumbs. They were super tasty this way. He did pan fry them, but you could also bake them in the oven, like you would oven fried chicken. Enjoy
