Turkey burgers!

[pinkcat]

What about stuffed pepper soup, since you probably have all the ingredients on hand already?

I think we are going to grill out tonight, grilled chicken and potatoes. I want to use the grill as much as I can before "summer" is over

Tacos!
Turkey burgers
Turkey meatloaf (though that's not as quick)

In honor of the start of football and the Patriots we are having buffalo chicken dip for dinner.

But then I would have to go to the grocery store to get buns.

I should have mentioned in my OP that I'm pretty lazy.

Do you not have sandwich bread??

Burgers never belong on sandwich bread. Ever.

Then you are obviously not as lazy as you claim to be.

Taco bowls!

Our favorite game day recipes are from Chili's and the pizza man.

Do you have a go-to recipe for stuffed pepper soup?

I think this is the one I made last time, and it was good!

These are my favorite mini-turkey meatloves. They don't take long and are healthy and delicious.

(you don't need the special pan)

I also love ground turkey tacos. They are so quick and easy!

I have ground turkey in the fridge for dinner.  I was just going to make stuffed peppers, but I seem to make them a lot.

Does anyone have any quick, easy recipes that involve ground turkey?

What are you having for dinner?  Make me hungry.



ETA:  Since football is starting tonight, please tell me all of your favourite game-day foods.

I enjoy making turkey burgers or turkey meatloaf with my ground turkey.  Just add an egg into the mixture and it will keep everything super moist.  

As for game day foods, I am always in for some dips... Buffalo chicken, spinach artichoke, 7 layer. YUM.

Burgers never belong on sandwich bread. Ever.

The first time I met him, FIL made me a burger on sandwich bread (DH wasn't with us, just him and me. Awkward). I side eyed it, but didn't want to be rude and ate it anyways. OMG I think he sprinkled crack on it or something, because it.was.delicious.

For dinner, we are having London Broil and some veggies and garlic bread. Now I am hungry!

[mcktymck]

I'm using ground turkey tomorrow night for tacos! It was supposed to be dinner tonight but we're going to the championship game for our minor league baseball team instead. So dinner will most likely be hot dogs.

As for game day food, my favorite is wings or pizza. Last season we would always go to BWW to watch the game with DH's family because we never got it at home. Not sure what we'll do this season now that we're across the country from everyone.

I'm making chicken with artichokes and potatoes tonight.

Dips are definitely my favorite game day foods. Any kind of dip!

My buffalo chicken dip recipe (for hippo)
Modified from this recipe

Ingredients:
8oz package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Frank's buffalo sauce
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
1/2-1 pound chicken, boiled and shredded. Depends how much you want. I usually buy over a pound and split it in half so I get two dips out of it.

Preheat oven to 350. Use a hand mixer to whip the cream cheese in a pie dish our other oven safe bowl. Add the buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing and mix. Add the crumbles and chicken.

Pop in the oven for about 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. We usually eat it with tortilla chips, but you could do veggies or crackers.

So am I the only one who doesn't eat a bun/bread with burgers?

We are having tacos tonight. I like making sausage balls, quesadillas, and dips for watching the game.

We don't when we make burgers at home. We load it up with yummy toppings so don't even miss the bread.

This thread made me so hungry and I just ate lunch. Not fair.

But tonight may turn into nachos for dinner night in honor of football.

[pinkcat]

For game day recipes, I made these the other day and they were AMAZING. Beware though, there is a lot of the Frank's Red Hot sauce on them and even DH thought they were really hot. I'd use less than what they recommend, or just drizzle it on the chicken rather than soaking them in it.

I'm ordering pizza. Ain't got time to be cooking when I'm trying to root for the Steelers.

Oh I'm about to get up to start boiling the chicken. Everything will be ready well before kick-off.

Just like I would never eat a sandwich on a hamburger bun. 

The lazy is not strong with this one.

I have interchanged hot dog buns, hamburger buns, and sandwich bread because sometimes nobody got time for getting the right bread.
