I saw this recipe for Chicken Parmesan Burgers in Bon Appetit magazine and thought it was a really fun twist on chicken parm and a burger.We don't eat burgers very often or meat for that matter, but these just looked too fun to pass up.
I used some local, lean ground turkey (93 % lean) instead of ground chicken since it was from a local farm and I have switched the two before with great results.
I had also seen a recipe for Carrot Fries that I wanted to try and this was the perfect opportunity to have a classic "burger and fries" dinner, but without the classic part.
The burgers were great. I made them smaller than the recipe said because I used a whole grain baguette for the "bun" and didn't want the burgers to be too big for the bread.I used basil from my basil plant (Yay!- I love having my own herbs!) and used provolone cheese instead of the fresh mozzarella called for since that is what I had in my fridge.
I think I overcook my carrot fries a little bit, but they were still delicious.
This was a fun dinner.

ReplyDeleteOh that looks delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth recipes look delicious! I , also, have switched to using a lot of turkey meat instead of beef, for a healthy alternative. The fries are a super idea. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat burger sounds mighty tempting but right now, I must check out those fries!!!
