A great combination that has been around since the beginning of the 20th century. Always a favorite food and you can get one within 5 minutes in just about every city, whether at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Groucho’s, etc.. Home made burgers and fries are always 10x better than any chain restaurant. Unfortunately you won’t get it as fast, but hey, quality over quantity! Mostly they end up being a little more healthier for you, so that’s a plus. Fresher ingredients make it tastier. We ended up making Turkey Burgers And Seasoned Fries so enough of this shenanigans, let’s get started!
Turkey Burger Ingredients:
1 1/2 Pounds ground turkey (or beef)
1/4 Cup onion (minced)
1/4 Cup fresh parsley (chopped)
1 Clove garlic (minced)
1 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon black pepper
Prep And Cooking Steps:
In a large bowl, combine turkey with garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, and onion.
After mixing well, form into 4-6 patties.
Cook on a grill or gridlle, about medium to high heat. After browning, flip over, add a piece of cheese on top, and cook until done.
Seasoned Fries Ingredients:
2 1/2 Pounds russet potatoes (peeled)
1 Cup all purpose flour
1 Teaspoon onion salt
1 Teaspoon garlic powder
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon paprika
1 Cup water (or as needed)
1 Cup vegetable oil
Prep And Cooking Steps:
Slice potatoes into french fries and place into cold water so they don’t turn brown.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In a large bowl combine the flour, onion salt, garlic salt, salt, and paprika. Gradually stir in enough water so that the batter isn’t as thick. (Be sure to dampen the french fries after you take them out of the water so that the batter doesn’t just run off of them. They need to be dry for the batter to stick.)
Dip french fries in batter one at a time, and place in the hot oil. The fries will clump up and stick together if there are more than one in the oil at a time.
Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on papertowels to drain.
You are all set! Go enjoy some food!
