The key to a mega-successful turkey burger is a great rich bread.  When the burger is made out of beef, the meat is the star of the cheeseburger.   Turkey, on the other hand, has a more mellow flavor then beef, and that’s the reason why turkey burgers are usually blah.

Well, this turkey cheeseburger is far from blah!   Brioche is a super-rich, very soft and very flavorful bread, and the turkey cheeseburger made with brioche is absolutely delicious.

Ingredients For The Turkey Cheeseburger

Brioche bun
Turkey patty (I usually use frozen turkey burger patties)
Slice of cheese
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Onion slices
Mayo
Mustard

Directions How To Make Turkey Cheeseburger

Cook the turkey patty on both sides.  At the end of cooking, top with a slice of cheese, so the cheese melts.

Microwave the brioche bun for 7 seconds so it gets warm.  Split the bun horizontally.  Spread the bun with mayo and mustard, top with turkey patty with melted cheese, top with onion slices, tomato slices, lettuce leaves and finally a top bun.  Enjoy!

Ingredients For Stuffed Baked Sweet Potatoes Recipe:

Sweet potatoes
Sliced mushrooms
Any green vegetables (for example, green peppers, asparagus, green beans, etc.)
Shredded cheese
Olive oil

Directions How To Make Stuffed Baked Sweet Potatoes:

Step 1: Bake The Sweet Potatoes

Preheat oven to 400F.  Prick the sweet potatoes with a knife in a couple of places (so they don’t burst).  Rub the sweet potatoes with olive oil.  Line the baking sheet with foil and put potatoes on a baking sheet.  Put in the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours.

Note: you can do this step in advance.  Just throw the sweet potatoes in the oven, then take them out 1 1/2 hours later and refrigerate till you are ready to stuff them.

Note 2: don’t be tempted to “bake” the sweet potato in a microwave unless you really have to.  Microwaved version is a far cry for the real thing. 

Step 2: Cook the veggies

Slice the mushrooms and other vegetables.  Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.  Cook the veggies until tender.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Stuff the sweet potatoes

Put the potato on a large plate, and cut in half lengthwise.  Scoop the flesh out with the spoon and put it in a bowl (leave the potato skin on the plate).  Mash the sweet potato flesh with a fork or a potato masher.  Add the vegetables and combine using a spoon.  Put the potato mixture back into the potato skin.

Sprinkle with shredded cheese.  Microwave or bake until the sweet potato is warm and cheese has melted.

Gooey warm melted cheese inside of crispy hot tortilla! Only takes a couple of minutes to make!

For each quesadilla:

1 flour tortilla
A large handful of shredded cheese
1 tsp of oil

Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.  Put the cheese on the tortilla, then fold the tortilla in half (so the cheese is inside) and put folded tortilla on the frying pan.

After 2 minutes, flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and serve.  Enjoy!
