Ode to Turkey Burgers and How I Love Thee
Ode to Turkey Burgers (And How I Love Thee)
Ode to turkey burgers,
and how I love thee.
Juicy and tasty,
lean and mean,
You’re the kind of burger I need.
Now, please don’t misunderstand me.
I still adore my bacon cheeseburgers,
Made with regular beef.
They’re still number one,
The all time classic comfort,
the burger of my dreams.
But turkey burgers, you see,
have a certain mystique.
Juicy and flavorful,
They’re rarely greasy.
In fact, they’re actually healthy.
So I could have two. Or three.
You know turkey burger, there’s just so much I like about you.
I like that I can snarf you down for lunch,
And not feel overly full.
I like that I can wolf you down for dinner,
slathered in mayo and bbq.
You’re fine on the grill,
easy in a skillet,
You even do well with a George Foreman,
Which is quite impressive.
Bun or toast,
Swiss or American,
Oh turkey burger,
you’re just a bite of heaven.
Whether at a restaurant or home,
Grill or skillet,
Lunch or dinner,
Turkey burger of mine, you’re always a winner.
Ode to the turkey burger,
and how I love thee.
For without your juicy delights,
I’d be very hungry.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! Tomorrow we have a new Coconut Queen and Thursday, a tasty new recipe! We’ve also got a new Twirl and a new creative woman this week! Stay tuned!

Turkey burgers are a favorite here also, as are tukey meatballs. Is that provolone on top? Big satisfying yum from me.

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever had a turkey burger. I think I may try one.
May 19th, 2009 at 6:17 am
So, do you like turkey burgers
?
May 19th, 2009 at 6:33 am
I have never had a turkey burger…will have to try one.
May 19th, 2009 at 6:58 am
So, that last turkey burger was so bad, that I don’t know if I will ever eat one again!
May 19th, 2009 at 7:32 am
I think I know what I am going to have for dinner tonight! I’ve been completely seduced by your turkey burger ode (the most eloquent and moving turkey burger ode I’ve ever heard, by the way)
May 19th, 2009 at 7:41 am
Pretty Ducky, your turkey burger sounds so tempting …
May 19th, 2009 at 7:45 am
You have me craving a burger now. Yum!
May 19th, 2009 at 7:46 am
Great tribute to your burger:)
May 19th, 2009 at 8:23 am
I love turkey burgers too. I don’t make them because my husband can’t eat turkey.
Great little poem – now I am wanting one.
May 19th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Um, yum! I’m totally joining in on this ode to the turkey burger. They are lean and mean fighting machines, and I absolutely adore them! Thank you for taking the time to appreciate such a wonderful treat!
May 19th, 2009 at 9:33 am
That does sound good… do you ever go for the veggie burgers?! I know you aren’t vegitarian, but they are delicious
May 19th, 2009 at 10:13 am
you are so cute – are you submitting your work to children’s publications?
May 19th, 2009 at 10:16 am
I never eat burgers (no burgers in the restaurant where I have lunch), but they must be very tasty!
May 19th, 2009 at 10:39 am
I have a great turkey burger recipe Duckie that I’d be happy to share with you!! They have a tex mex flavour and there is a delish chipolte salsa to go with them, not to mention avocado!! Love you loads! XXOO
May 19th, 2009 at 10:57 am
I love turkey burgers, so good!! Veggie burgers are also tasty
May 19th, 2009 at 11:25 am
I like your poem but I don’t like turkey burgers! I like veggie burgers, though, like black bean burgers, yum!! The only time I ever cooked turkey burgers they had a real ‘funny’ smell and ever since then I’ve avoided them. I’m sorry.
May 19th, 2009 at 11:32 am
You know, I’ve never had a turkey burger. Never sound that appetizing. I guess if I’m going to get a burger, I want it to be the real thing, complete with cheddar and bacon!
May 19th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love making new friends. Your new site it great. I’ll be back to visit.
May 19th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Yet another reminder that I need to make turkey burgers! I’ve actually only had a couple in my entire life. I really enjoyed them, but for some reason always forget about making them for myself!
May 19th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Blonde Duck that turkey burger looks so yummy!
You asked about my daughters hair. It was done in a reverse French braid while hair was wet and then lightly sprayed with hairspray. She slept with it that way and this morning she took out the braid and ran her fingers through it. She has very straight and hard to curl hair. I think it looks great on her. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

I love when you do “Ode to….” they bring a smile to my face and this looks tasty!!!!
May 19th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
YUM
May 19th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
mmmm – bump all that turkey business – I’ll take the bacon!
May 19th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Totally loved your ode to the turkey burger…but agree…needs bacon
May 19th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
I love turkey burgers, too. I wish my husband was more fond of them, but they’ll never be a replacement for his beloved cheeseburgers.
Thanks for stopping by my blog last week!
May 19th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
hee! I do love a healthy burger…I just made some this afternoon, vegetarian-style!
May 19th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
That was quite an ode to the turkey burger! Versatile food though. It’s been too long since I’ve had one.
May 19th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
That’s a great tribute:-)
May 19th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
As I don’t eat the cow, I “heart” me some turkey burgers. Yum! Yum!!
May 19th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Yum! Now it’s time to pack up and go to Burger King! Look what you’ve done. : )
May 19th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Yum! I just made some turkey burgers on Sunday, along with some veggie burgers (I have a 13 year old who has decided she is a vegetarian). So yummy!
How are things at the pond?
XOXO

K…
So veggie burgers are just as delish. Packed with veggies. Low-low on fat and calories…and lubed with goodness.
I am not a vegetarian, BUT this is one way I get my youngest son’s vegetable servings in. Meat FrEaK!
I have digressed and joined him only to save my calories and I am HOOKED!!!
Go there. I dare you.

Yummy I haven’t had a burger in ages. I loved the last episode of The gift. Jane x
May 20th, 2009 at 3:36 am
They are terrific. We are starting to make these more than beef burgers these days. I love your “Odes”.
May 20th, 2009 at 3:46 am
Yum for the turkey burgers!
May 20th, 2009 at 5:38 am
Mmmmmm! This post made me READY for lunch! And now I will have to have a burger for dinner!
May 20th, 2009 at 6:20 am
I love how the cheese looks bigger than the burger patty.
May 20th, 2009 at 8:19 am
Umm, I love turkery burgers. I had one at Fudruckers just the other day. Yum!!
May 20th, 2009 at 10:35 am
I like turkey burgers a lot too! I actually think I prefer them to regular burgers….does that make me weird?
May 20th, 2009 at 10:36 am
miranda. that is a BEAUTIFUL ratio of cheese to burger. and i happen to adore turkey burgers, so much so that i almost question my loyalty to beef.
May 20th, 2009 at 11:13 am
I’ve never actually had a turkey burger! It looks fabulous.
LOVE the look of your blog by the way it’s ADORABLE, and thanks for stopping by mine!
May 20th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Hi, I came over to say “hi” back… Girl you really do love yourself a turkey burger don’t you… It is a lovely poem! So cute!
You have the perfect amount of cheese on that burger!
I’m starting to feel hungry!

Howdy, fellow Texan! What a great Ode to turkey burgers. I just love them to. I had one the other day at Studio Movie Grill with sweet potato fries! HHHMMM, HHHMMMM, good!
May 21st, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Heehee! We must have had a mind-meld… we’re on a turkey burger wavelength!
May 21st, 2009 at 2:29 pm
LOL – now I have heard everything – well, almost
May 24th, 2009 at 9:42 am
Okay, now I want one….:)

I LOVE TURKBURGS! I really like them because the frozen ones I have are quick to cook (3 minutes, flip, 3 minutes, done, while icy beefburgs are at least 11 minutes) and also… I’ve never burnt a turkburg! Even if I cook them (frying pan or foreman grill) for way longer than the instructions say, they still come out soft and nummy…
while beef burgs come out crusty and hard!
