Turkey Burgers and Roasted Vegetables

Hi, this is Nina Simonds of Spices of Life. And we’re here, we’re back with the Dinner Doctor but I’m so excited because we have as our special guest, the Odd Noggins. Welcome to Spices of Life Odd Noggins.

And we thought we’d do a Dinner Doctor with the Odd Noggins because they have some pretty serious dinner issues. They can’t really get any variety into their menu. They basically just think of hamburger, French fries and ketchup for dinner. So we’ve talked about this and they want some new ideas. They want some delicious simple dishes that are healthy and obviously similar to something they’d like.

So we’ve decided today for the menu, we’re making pan-fried Turkey burgers, we’re doing some roasted vegetables fries, and then we’re serving them in garlic-toasted pita buns. So, what do you think Noggin Heads? Do you like that? Well, let’s cook with the Noggin Heads.

So here we are, we have the Odd Noggins in the kitchen. We have some sweet potatoes, fennel and leeks, and we’ve had the dressing. And then Mr. Hamburger, he is wetting his hands because this is ground turkey and here you go. And we’ve added some carrots, and some onions and seasonings. Of course we have to put ketchup in it. We’re going to take the vegetables and we’re going to put them in a roasting pan, and you should spread them all out so they’re in one layer. They’re going to bake 475 degrees first covered, then uncovered. The turkey burgers, we’re going to panfry them in a little bit of olive oil and you could flip that over, beautiful. We’ve toasted the whole wheat pita rounds with a little bit of garlic oil.

And now, everybody, Odd Noggins, can you take the turkey burgers, yes, do you have them? They’re right there. And what you’re going to do is to coax them into the whole wheat pita and put them down right on the platter. And then we have the vegetables which have been cooking in the oven. And then we’re going to go sit at the table and eat.

Everybody, what do you think? This is Nina Simonds in Odd Noggin Land, at Spices of Life. Enjoy your turkey burgers, guys.
