New Recipes!

I made some YUMMY Parmesan Ranch Potatoes and Italian Ranch Turkey Burgers!

What ya need:

1 package of ranch dressing mix, I just used Kroger's brand.
1 package of Italian mixed shredded cheese
Hamburger buns, I used the Kroger brand "Sandwich Slims" multi-grain
1 vedalia onion, I sliced off about three rounds and diced them
5-7 small-medium potatoes, cubed
Salt and pepper
Olive Oil
1 lb ground turkey, thawed
1 egg
4-6 crushed saltines (this helps keep your burgers together)
1 more slice of onion, diced

Preheat oven to 400
In 9x13 glass casserole dish, mix potatoes, onion, 3/4 of the package of ranch dressing mix, and wet with just enough oil to give it all a good coating. Cover with foil and bake 30-45 minutes or until potatoes are tender, take out after about 15-20 minutes to stir.

While your potatoes are in the oven, mix your turkey, remaining ranch mix, onion, egg, and crushed crackers. Form into patties and cook in skillet over medium heat, browning both sides. Make sure you cook thoroughly since this is yard bird. ;o)

When potatoes are done, sprinkle  with desired amount of Parmesan cheese and stir.

Put your burger on your bun and sprinkle with your shredded cheese. I didn't use any kind of condiments beyond salt and pepper on my bun, but you can jazz it up with fresh lettuce leaves and tomato or anything your little heart desires!

Enjoy!!!
