Man that looks sooooo good heh
 
What did you do to the recipe?

 

[t0mato]

More queso fresco in the meat, more char on the corn, more cilantro in the salsa, more cumin, and covered the burgers grilled Anaheim peppers instead of jalapeños. Smoked everything with cherry wood.

 

[calchilihead]

Solid!

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Bahahaha. Basically "MORE" everything, which is WIN!

do you eat a lot of turkey burgers ?
 
I want to like turkey burgers, but i guess i have never had a good one.
 Yours looks good though.  
 
 
 
 
 

 

[t0mato]

Yeah. My wife doesn't eat beef, so beef is more of a treat.

I think turkey is more versitile than most meats because it takes on more flavors. You can customize it in a way.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Why can you customize turkey but not beef?

 

[t0mato]

You CAN customize beef. Only beef has certain underlying flavors that aren't as easy to get past. Turkey is bland so it tastes like what you customize it to be.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Like marinating?

 

[Grass Snake]

The best Turkey burgers taste like beef

Now you know how I feel about cauliflower. I get what you are saying. Turkey is a neutral flavor for you and beef is not.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Yeah different people taste things different turkey is very distinct to me to the point I don't like it too much always preferred chicken better, turkey being a bit funkier/gamier tasting, rather have BBQ chicken or cornish hen even on Thanksgiving.

 

[calchilihead]

I cannot stand turkey by itself unless its in Thanksgiving Day type form.  Ground turkey has to be cooked with lots of flavors for me.  

 

[t0mato]

Sure

oooh smoked cornish hens  
 i haven't had those in a couple years...
Last time we did ribs, and polish sausage,and two hens, and it still took up hardly any space in the beast-smoker 

 
 
#cornish hens so good
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Sure

I think beef takes marination way better but to each.

Yeah! Mainly that slightly metallic taste beef has. Chelsea hates it...I love it.
