Turkey Burger taste test results


WOW!! The taste test went fantastic. Two burgers reign supreme in over all taste, texture and moistness. All I can say is that Oprah has a strong pallet for robust, rich and savory flavor. The Mar-A-Lago Turkey Burger delivers big spice from the Chipotle Hot Sauce and is uniquely married to a medley of fruits and vegetables to create a one of a kind presentation to your taste buds! Kudos all around! Next, the Spicy Turkey Burger from Epicurious is equally as dynamic. Remarkably a pinnacle of flavor is reached much like the Mar-A-Lago burger primarily from the Chipotle Hot Sauce. Unlike Oprah's favorite, this burger requires far less ingredients and is supported by the addition of cumin and shallots. BRAVO. This was the over all BEST EVER TURKEY BURGER. Honorable mention goes to Kraft for their addition of fresh basil and BBQ sauce. Who knew they were friends. And Sadly we come to last place held by Rachel Ray's Salsa Verde Turkey Burger. This burger was just plain tired. It lacked flavor and interest. I heard a simple quote today that perfectly describes this recipe. "Preparing a meal in 20 minutes isn't cooking, its rushing." Slow down Rachel! We need to feel good about what we serve.

The best thing about food is there are no rules! Whether it's raisins or radishes you never know what your going to get until you mix them up! Have fun, and feed yourself well.
