Fire up the grill!

My husband and I love to grill in the summer. It's easy cooking for me and quick kitchen clean-up! Plus it is fun for us to try new recipes together on the grill. Here are two of our favorite grilling recipes:

• Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers
  

• 3 pounds ground turkey 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs 1/4 cup finely diced onion 2 egg whites, lightly beaten 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (I use dried) 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, mix ground turkey, seasoned bread crumbs, onion, egg whites, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form into 12 patties. Cook the patties in a medium skillet over medium heat, turning once, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F. (We just make them on the grill. We also butter buns and place those on the grill to toast them. So tasty!) This makes a big recipe so if you're not serving a group, cut the recipe in half. Or make all the patties and freeze half of them for next week.

• Pineapple Burgers
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 4 pineapple rings
• 4 slices American cheese
• BBQ sauce
  
• 
  

DIRECTIONS:

1. Divide the ground beef into eight very thin patties. Place a pineapple ring and a slice of
cheese on one patty and place another patty on top. Seal the burger edges so that none of
the pineapple or cheese is showing. Spread on some BBQ sauce.
2. Place burgers on the grill, and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Add more
BBQ sauce when serving....
