With a 3-pound package of ground turkey to use up, the balance of it was mixed up into turkey burgers, which were grilled up on Sunday afternoon. Intellectually, I can appreciate the marginally healthier choice that these might represent, being made from turkey instead of beef, but lordy I don't get why these ridiculous monstrosities would actually be preferable for those who are free to choose. Sit me down in a restaurant and tell me I can order either a beef burger or a turkey burger, and it's nowhere close to a contest, no matter how amazing that turkey burger purports to be.
To me, turkey burgers are an utterly incomprehensible disaster of an idea.
Prior to this past weekend, I wouldn't have said I had any major objections to ground turkey, thinking maybe I just wasn't especially drawn to it. Trying to work with it for the two different meals I just made, though, and I'm pretty much done. I'll be surprised if it shows up as part of any future Roediger House menus.
