Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
I just finished a week of eating grilled ground turkey sausages. It was a recipe from Planet Barbecue!: 309 Recipes, 60 Countries. They're Uzbek in origin. Ground poultry meat with garlic and a lot of fresh dill. Form into skinless sausages and grill with smoke.mac5155 wrote:Anyone have any good (semi-healthy) recipes for ground turkey?
The recipe recommended ground chicken with added chicken fat to keep the sausages moist, but I used turkey. If you don't have some extra bird fat, Raichlen said you can also add a couple ounces of minced bacon. I did that, and darn those were some tasty sausages.

Your first mistake was putting it in the freezer.Chefpatrick871 wrote:obhave wrote:Grill london broil!?mac5155 wrote:Yeah we grilled some steaks yesterday. 2 sizzler sirloins (thin sirloins), 3 ribeye and a London broil which was 12 inches long by 8 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick.

All this talk of steak makes me want to go home and cook up some good steaks on the grill. Yummy.
Yeah I think I might pull a steak out of the freezer. Made a tenderloin roast au poive style last night, killer.

Ripert is amazing. I haven't seen the show, but I've seen those shorts where he cooks meals in a *cough* toaster oven *cough*. Something tells me there was a lot of money involved in that. It's the most insincere, blatant "the camera is on me and since I'm not an actor, it's completely obvious that I'm doing this for the camera" moments I've seen. I'm really into that guy though.

Nice. I am going to have to try that.. I'm getting sick of some bread crumbs and BBQ sauce as adding flavor. Next time, I am going to pick up some pre made turkey sausages at sams clubShyster wrote:I just finished a week of eating grilled ground turkey sausages.

Day 2 of the quesadillas was good as well. Reheated the remaining mixture and made another one. This one didn't get soggy after cooking so win.

Chicken quesadillas are so under rated. I think I will try them sometime this week. What's the best way to cook them without a special "quesadilla" maker

i made sushi tonight. 2 different maki rolls. one was a cucumber avacado. the other was ahi tuna, cucumber, avacado, and siracha. the latter was especially for me, but my gf liked it too, so this is definitely going to be a regular thing!

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
Depends on your skill level and how adventurous you are and how much time you can devote to cooking.obhave wrote:would there be a cookbook you guys would recommend for me, as a college student living on my own this summer? I am going to be living in an apartment in New york having to provide for my own meals, and I would love some simple, cheap, tasty meals.
Food Network has a couple useful books like "How To Boil Water" and "Food Network Favorites: Recipes from Our All-Star Chefs". There isn't anything especially taxing in either of those, just approachable and handy recipes for tasty food.
Thomas Keller's "Ad Hoc At Home" is a great tool for good old-fashioned family-style home cooking, but with an eye towards refinement. No soul-crushing techniques here, just good, hearty fare.
If you're a little more adventurous, get David Chang's "Momofuku". Technique-wise, there isn't anything hugely difficult between the covers (altho there are a couple recipes for things that require ingredients like 'meat glue'.... just skip over those). But there are very many dirt simple recipes in there whose biggest ingredient is time. For example, Chang gives recipes to make your own ramen noodles and your own Chinese steamed buns, as well as delicious things to eat with said noodles and buns. It's actually a really great utility cookbook that just so happens to have been written by one of the most creative chefs in the country today. They guy has a knack for flavor combinations that seem odd (Snails and mascarpone cheese? It works.) but create some awesome music in your mouth.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
I just use my biggest non-stick pan and a decent sized spatula (combined with my free hand) to flip it. Inevitably you lose a couple pieces of filling from the edges, but it works well enough for my liking.mac5155 wrote:Chicken quesadillas are so under rated. I think I will try them sometime this week.

I use it all the time and it makes great easy quesadillas. No flipping, cooked evenly throughout. It's also great for pancakes, sandwiches, and a substitute for a foreman grill. $100 well spent on that thing. It's probably the kitchen gadget I use most, followed closely by the slow cooker, which I used tonight.
I made slow cooker country style ribs tonight. Boneless pork country ribs (although there was still bone in some of them, thanks Albertson's). Then I used BBQ sauce, worchestershire sauce, ketchup (small amount), grape jelly (small amount), and some apple cider. I also mixed in about 1/4 of an onion and 2 fresh jalepenos sliced into rings. They weren't the best ribs ever, but it came out pretty good. I wanted to just try the onion and pepper in the sauce to see if it did anything and it was good. Oh, and I seasoned the ribs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and italian seasoning overnight.
Once they were cooked on low for 10 hours, I took the ribs out and reduced the sauce. The liquid from the pork cooked out, so it was really watery. It turned into a really really good BBQ sauce with just a little kick.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
Made a neat little steak sandwich last night.
Had a small amount of tenderloin scrap, so I shreaded it up, marinated in small amount of Soy, Worstechersireierieurshdlf sauce, garlic powder, pepper and onion powder (left out salt b/c of soy)
Carmalized a small amount of sweet onion and green pepper, seared off the meat real good, and for my bread used two slices of texas toast garlic bread (frozen kind) w/ mozz melted all over.
