Already mentioned but a tasty idea :) If you're using ground turkey for
meatballs or burgers add ground ginger powder and some Tabasco. Also a
splash of sesame oil (I think I forgot to mention that, but if it's really
lean ground turkey it makes all the difference.) I make turkey burgers
using this combination and throw in a little cayenne pepper and it makes all
the difference. Ground turkey is pretty bland so this makes all the
difference along with the minced green onion and garlic.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jill. My turkey meatballs ...actually,
quenelles... turned out pretty good. I added crushed garlic, minced
onion, dried rosmary/parsely/basil, salt/pepper, cream, bread crumbs,
and some Old Bay. I then pan fried them in bacon grease. I need to
do a little adjust on the dried herbs, but otherwise, they were quite
tastey. I will definitely try your suggestions. Thank you.

Yeah, I think we agreed last night that the spelling was quenelles :) Nice
chat, thanks for posting about it! I've never actually made quenelles, will
do that some day soon!

Dinner tonight is going to be deep fried battered pollack and tater tots!

A couple reasons I like them, they're kinda flattish so can be turned
once, and are made with spoons, keeping my hands clean.

Oh, please... I know this is just a subterfuge. ( Burgers? You're
making turkey balls).

Practice safe eating. Always use condiments.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... a quenelle is usually shaped like a football.
