We got hammered in Alberta this year...crappy summer, long-cold-snowy winter and a very late and cold spring. -There is light at the end of the tunnel. As the days are getting longer and warmer, I respond to the season change by turning on the grill. The other day was no exception.
It all started with the discovery of a pretzel bun at the local grocery. Yup, I built a meal around a bun. I thought that ground turkey thigh would compliment the dense and slightly sweet bun....was I right.
I seasoned the ground turkey with fresh cracked pepper and smoked alder salt.
I added an egg and panko crumbs to hold the patties together.That was it...kept it simple.
I sliced and cored fresh pineapple 1/4 inch thick and grilled the slices with cinnamon and maple flakes.
I used a teriyaki glaze on the turkey. After grilling the patties, I dressed the buns with the grilled pineapple, Harp infused mustard and provolone cheese.
The mosit meal was rounded out with fresh tangy coleslaw and a super chilled glass of 2006 Stratus White.
Best part of the night was listening to the calls of the returning trumpeter swans...
