Burgers!

How about a nice change from turkey?  Brush the leaves off the BBQ, don a raincoat and get grilling!  I usually BBQ until the snow is so high outside that I just can't get to it anymore - so here is a great, simple burger recipe. This recipe came out of Todays Parent July 2008

1 1/2 lb (750 g) Lean ground beef
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp pepper

In a bowl, stir together the ground beef, water, soy sauce and pepper.  By hand, very gently form into 4 to 6 patties, handling the meat as lightly as possible.  Arrange on a waxed paper lined platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the meat to firm up.  Cold meat will hold together better on the grill.

At grilling time, preheat the barbecue on high for 5 minutes.  Place the burgers on the grill, turn the heat down to medium and grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side (flipping once) or until the meat is no longer pink inside.

Remove from the grill and serve on buns with the usual accompaniments.

** Goat cheese or feta makes for a wonderful adult hamburger accompaniment.
