Best Grilled Turkey Burger

Turkey burgers can be a hard thing. Some brands grind it to fine and the texture in your mouth can be dry and mealy. To conquer this, people like to add bread crumbs or eggs to bind them. Or trap moisture in. I use a brand from Aldis that has a good consistency. I do not use eggs or breadcrumbs. This allows more people to eat. Sometimes Turkey lacks that good OOMF of meatiness that a beef burger gives. To add a level of that back into the burger, I have a few ingredient suggestions in the video. Keep the Turkey mixture as cold as you can before grilling or pan-frying to keep it firm. But don't be afraid of a loose mixture. Work fast, patty quick, get it on the heat...it will get firm with cooking. In this video, I realized I am not that glamorous to look at. That's ok. It's 2020 yall need something to laugh at! LOL

Kitchen Supplies

This picture was took in Monrovia Liberia, West Africa when I was working there in 2008-2009. The big thing street-side there was what we called Wheelbarrow Entrepreneurs in Monrovia! (click the link if your interested in seeing the rest of them, quite entertaining!)
We have a reliable source for all our kitchen supplies... and this is not it!

Soaking wood chips for smoker

Quick tip: A long time ago I figured out it was easier to soak all your wood chips, pieces, and/or small blocks of wood all at one time. Then you strain them with a colander and freeze them in a ziplock bag for the future. Why? Because most instructions on smoking with these size wood pieces tell you to pre-soak them up to an hour or more! And who wants to suddenly be slowed down by this last minute realization? No one ever!

Equipment 4 Small Kitchens & Small Budgets

There was a question posted at SeriousEats.com (of which I am a member) which garnered at least 64 comments:
What does a young foodie/recent grad need in his kitchen?
First we will review my answer to the above question as I responded on the site - add suggestions and pictures to help visualize how this would work for anyone. (of course if you are extremely messy and uncoordinated then there may not be a 'happy' medium for you and your kitchen)

A few thoughts:

The knife (as one person said) may be a more personal purchase, but maybe not if you spend more money on it than he would!

*Good forged metal well-known and trusted brand knives can be found at Marshall's, Ross, and TJ Max in the 'kitchen' section at great reductions...knife sets are a waste of money unless its a chef's, paring, serrated/bread knife set. You don't need 7 to 14 knives. These three do most of the jobs you are going to do in your home kitchen with some exceptions. Kitchen Aid, Cuisinart, Ch…
