Grilled Mushroom Swiss Burgers

Grilled Mushroom Swiss Burgers

This beefy mushroom Swiss burger recipe is too good not to try! It's a great way to spice up an ordinary hamburger. Not only can this be done on the grill, but you can also pan-fry the burgers if preferred.

Moist Turkey Burgers

Moist Turkey Burgers

I changed the recipe to make these deliciously juicy turkey burgers for more people. I caramelized the onions to give them more depth of flavor. I also added Dijon mustard and real garlic instead of garlic powder. I also cut down on the amount of bread crumbs and made them out of whole wheat bread to make them a little healthier. I also omitted the soy sauce for the same reason. They came out great. The only thing I would do differently next time is to give them just a little heat.

Thai Pineapple Chicken Curry

Thai Pineapple Chicken Curry

This pineapple curry is a quick and easy Thai curry dish that's sweet and spicy. I became enamored with this dish at a local restaurant and then worked to duplicate it at home. I think I've got the taste and presentation pegged. I'm guesstimating the amounts since I don't measure much when I cook. Feel free to adjust to taste.
