I used to love grilled cheese sandwiches growing up; cheddar on wheat bread is what we usually had, using
Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Sauerkraut on Rye Recipe
Yield: Serves one.
Ingredients 2 slices dark rye bread Several thin slices of aged, Gruyere Swiss cheese 1/3 cup drained and heated sauerkraut 2 teaspoons of butter
Method
1 Heat a frying pan to medium high heat. For each slice of bread, butter one side and place slice butter side down on the hot pan.
2 Add a layer of cheese to one of the slices. As the bread begins to toast just slightly, and the cheese begins to soften, spread the heated sauerkraut over the slice of bread with cheese. Using a spatula, flip the cheese-less bread slice over on top of the slice with cheese and sauerkraut.
3 After 30 sec or so, check to see if the cheese is just beginning to melt. If it is, flip the whole sandwich over onto the other side. Toast a minute more or less on that side until the cheese has melted, but isn’t runny. Remove the sandwich from the pan. Slice in half.

Recently my father announced he had a cunning plan . He found a grilled turkey burger recipe that he
The good news is that both sets of burgers turned out great. With the white meat turkey burgers, since we had less chili sauce, the turkey flavor was more pronounced. With the dark meat burgers, the chipotle sauce added a lot of kick to the meat. Both burgers were flavorful, filling, and paired very well with the spicy coleslaw, sweet pickles, and tomatoes. 3 thumbs up on this one.
Spicy Grilled Turkey Burger with Coleslaw Recipe
Yield: Makes 4 burgers.
Ingredients
Turkey burgers:
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (white meat, dark meat, or a mixture) 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs 3 Tbsp mayonnaise 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 to 3 teaspoons of hot chile sauce such as Tabasco sauce (amount depends on how spicy you like your foods), or Tabasco Chipotle sauce 2 green onions, minced, white and green parts 4 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced 1 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or more to taste 4 hamburger buns, lightly toasted Sweet pickle slices 1 tomato, cored and slicedColeslaw
2 cups shredded cabbage 1 cup loosely packed arugula, watercress, or just another cup of shredded cabbage 10 basil leaves, thinly sliced 1/2 cup of mayonnaise 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Salt and freshly ground pepper to tasteMethod
1 Prepare your grill (either gas or charcoal) for direct high heat. You can also cook the burgers on the stove-top on a griddle or cast iron frying pan.
2 In a large bowl, gently combine the turkey meat, bread crumbs, chives, basil, green onions, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, chili sauce, salt and pepper. Work the mixture with your hands until it is just mixed. Don’t over mix or your burgers will end up tough. Form four patties, about 1-inch thick.
3 Sprinkle the patties with salt and pepper. Grill them for 5-7 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature of the patties reach 170°F on a meat thermometer. Turkey burgers should be cooked through, not rare. Toward the end of the cooking, put the buns on the grill to toast for about a minute. Remove the burgers from the grill to a platter, cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
4 Assemble the coleslaw. Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, sugar, red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Add to the cabbage, arugula, and basil in a larger bowl right before serving.
5 Assemble the burgers by placing each burger on a bottom bun, and stacking a tomato slice, some pickles, and a bit of coleslaw on top, and then topping with the top bun.
