Burgers Galore!

Bison Burger!
Turkey Burger
Salmon Burger



Got on this kick where I just wanted to make all sorts of burgers! So, a few weeks ago, I dedicated a weekend to inviting friends over and cooked up Salmon, Turkey and Bison Burgers. Let me start off by saying Bison meat is AWESOME. Lean but yet flavorful with a hint of gaminess. My new favorite meat, I used it the next day to make bison sausage for a pizza. I highly suggest buying bison meat ASAP, it is fairly inexpensive too.





I used a new recipe for the Salmon burgers. Instead of grinding up (processing via Kitchen Aid) raw salmon, I baked it first, then added scallions, onions, breadcrumbs, egg and pan fried. For a little flavor, I added dill, mustard, and chickpeas for a little crunch. The burgers came out good and the texture was great and not as mushy compared to my usual technique. All and all, it was fun times in the test kitchen and I've decided to start selling Bison meat as another side job. Just kidding, seriously, please try it!
