Turkey Burger Flavor Tips
- Use ground turkey thighs and smash them to get rich browning, which enhances flavor and satisfaction in turkey burgers.
- For juiciness, mix roasted eggplant flesh and umami boosters like soy sauce and anchovy with turkey meat.
Timing Burgers, Fries, Shakes
- Make milkshakes first as they hold well in the fridge or freezer before serving.
- Prep all burger toppings and toast buns before cooking burgers to assemble immediately while hot; cook fries in air fryer and keep warm if needed.
Roast Timing and Serving Tricks
- Use a reliable recipe and a thermometer to time large roasts accurately.
- Cook roasts fully, then rest them; reheat briefly in a hot oven or with pan drippings before serving to have them hot with no rush.
