All Shook Up

In preparation for inclement weather, we decided an extra-hearty supper was in order. So we took a cue from The King himself. You see, Elvis liked peanut butter. A lot. On everything.

yes, this is a real cookbook. you know you want it.

We bring you Turkey Burgers with Peanut Butter and Sauteed Onions. We know it sounds bizarre but trust us it's delicious! Sort of a pad thai in burger form.

We started with ground turkey, which we mixed with cornbread crumbs, garlic powder, and fresh ground pepper. We made patties and used the rest of the meat for meatballs (more on that in another post), which we then "grilled" on the stovetop.

Next we toasted some homemade bread and slathered it with peanut butter.

Meanwhile, onions and mushrooms are getting cozy in a saute pan.

And we're sipping a little wine from a trip to Palisade last September.

Assembly...

...and voila! We ate them open faced as shown, but you could certainly top the burger with another slice of toast or a real hamburger bun. Try it with rice vinegar or a little BBQ sauce for even more depth of flavor.

So the next time you're feeling adventuresome, put on some Elvis and try a little peanut butter in an unexpected way. You just might like it!

Have any of you tried some creative recipes using peanut butter?
