SPRING IN JERSEY - TOM'S TURKEY BURGER
The arrival of asparagus at our house is a big to do. That's how much we love our asparagus! We are constantly finding new ways to enjoy this spring vegetable. Because of my husband's love of garlic AND asparagus, I decided to combine the two with a turkey burger, since he also LOVES burgers! Anyone else have a husband like this? So I created the Tom's Turkey Burger. It is very simple, there wasn't much to create, but if you like all of those flavors, you will love this burger as much as we do. I simply use frozen turkey burgers, (but you could make your own, using fresh ground turkey), a few stalks of freshly steamed asparagus, muenster cheese slices, garlic aioli (recipe follows), and sesame seed hamburger buns. You need about 3 stalks of cooked asparagus cut in half for each burger. Cook your turkey burgers however you like, on the grill or in a pan, put it on the hamburger bun, top with muenster cheese, then asparagus, then the garlic aioli and finally top with the second half of the bun. Note: Garlic aioli has a strong taste, so if you really want to taste the asparagus, only use a small amount. I make my garlic aioli fresh, and it will last in your refrigerator for quite some time, as long as it is covered. I also like to use muenster cheese for its mellow taste and nice melting qualities, but feel free to use any cheese you might like better.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 3/4 cup Hellman's mayonnaise (or any mayonnaise of your choice. This is just my preference) - 3 cloves of garlic, minced - 2 1/2 Tbsps. lemon juice - about 1/2 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. Just mix all in a bowl and enjoy.
