Bruchetta Turkey
About 1 cup of leftover bruchetta
1lb or so of ground turkey
1 egg, beaten
Grated parmesan cheese to taste
Beat an egg in a glass bowl.
Add leftover bruchetta, juice and all.
Mix well and then add ground meat and a healthy dose of parmesan. Using your hands and fingers, mix thoroughly
and make your patties. Grill or
broil. Serve as you would serve any
other burger. Enjoy!
Background:
Tomato season takes center stage in our home each summer- we
love ourselves some bruchetta! My
bruchetta recipe is simple: diced roma tomatoes, well snipped up fresh basil
leaves, diced onions, good quality balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil,
and salt and pepper to taste. Joaquin
and I especially enjoy our bruchetta when we start by going out to our back
yard to pick the tomatoes and basil- nothing like truly fresh bruchetta!
Anyways, we often “eat with our eyes” and end up with
leftover bruchetta. Like I said, there
is nothing quite like FRESH bruchetta, and day (or longer) old just doesn’t cut
it for us. It is a shame to let it go to
waste though, so one day I thought to make hamburgers out of the
leftovers. Boy I am glad I did! These burgers are super tasty and moist. Even the most anti-turkey burger people admit
these burgers are yummy J
Additional Notes:
Any ground meat is good to use in this recipe. I use chicken and turkey most often because I try to really limit our red meat intake…
Did you notice the “fries” in the picture? They are oven fries made from batatas! Maybe that can be a blog post for another day…
