This sounds delicious, I’ve never tried adding the pear to the patty – but that sounds lovely. I normally just top my burger with slices of pear.

I love the combination of meat and fruits. Have you ever tried turkey and fresh figs? I LOVE it!!

This looks fantastic and NOT at all gross in my opinion. Pears go well with poultry – and when you break down the component flavors in ketchup (tomato – vinegar – sweetness – saltiness) and compare it to Roni’s sauce it really is quite similar in terms of flavor balance and texture. Sounds awesome, can’t wait to try it.

A chef friend of mine swears by ground dark meat turkey for turkey burgers. The higher fat content of dark meat I guess makes it more moist and flavorful. And since it’s ground there’s otherwise not much difference. I know it can be purchased at the meat counter at places like Whole Foods. Have not looked at a regular grocery but it is something he uses exclusively and I never even knew about!

I just had to come back and comment because the comment #1 was bothering me. Why was this person being so rude? If she doesn’t like healthy food she should be looking at other sites; that’s what I was thinking. Later, I remembered reading somewhere that one tricky way to get a link is to get the blogger mad so they respond to the comment. Well, I think this commenter, if she wants links, should work post interesting and relevant comments, and be sincere. Rudeness is unacceptable!

I’ve been craving turkey burgers this week. This one sounds pretty creative and interesting.

I just purchased mango/habanero preserve from a farmers market vendor to spread on wings and cook. People put pineapple on hams. I made a pumpkin soup – has coconut cream in it – and it turned out to be a lovely gravy for turkey last year. Plus, pears are a great holiday food add-in. I don’t see anything unappealing about it at all. Sounds great! Plus, I am a recent fan of Greek yogurt, yummy. I love how creamy and thick it is compared to regular yogurt.

The burger sounds yummy. Just tried a mixture of fig jam and dijon mustard, I think that would be wonderful on it. Hubby wouldn’t touch yogurt if it was the last thing on earth to eat :)

Sound fantastic Roni.

Geesh Kelly, if it doesn’t appeal to you just pass on by!

Seems fine to me. I like meat with fruit so I could see how this would work.

To each their own Kelly. It totally rocked in my opinion but I’m into trying to new things that’s why I have the blog. My husband would gawk at this too.
