i'm quite certain this holds the record for, in fact, the "messiest" turkey burger i've ever created. maybe this statement has something to do with the addition of the homemade beer cheese sauce i prepared......hmmm? regardless, it sure was a tasty dinner for a relaxing friday evening w/ my man.
we were celebrating a belated wedding anniversary and enjoying a little peace and quiet, during a short, weekend stay at the beautiful meriwether ranch in southwestern montana (complements of our dear friends, wells & renee). these burgers & baked sweet tater & yam fries, served up w/ some ice-cold bozone ipa's, proved to be the perfect complement to a relaxing night in!
