Because it's warm enough to grill in Cali.

This was my juiciest burger yet. It's slightly sweet, but also savory. It caramelizes beautifully. I guess it's got an asian flair, but something about this blue cheese combo just sings to me.

To make you will need:

1 1/2-2 lbs. ground beef or turkey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce

1/2 teaspoon of tumeric

1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon of pepper

a pinch of salt

crumbled blue cheese

If you wear rings, take them off before you mix, trust me!

Grab a bowl. It's time to mix you up some burgers!

This is very easy. Just place your ground beef or turkey in a bowl & add all of the ingredients then mix.

Divide the meat into 1/4's. Take one 1/4 and make an indentation then fill said indentation with blue cheese, now encapsulate the blue cheese by sort of folding the meat over it. Easy? Yeah!

Repeat with the rest & grill.

Your buns. To toast or not to toast? That's up to you.

I like sandwich thins, un-toasted:)

The rest is up to you...garnish as you please.

I like to keep it simple with romas, more crumbled blue cheese & onion.

You might want to try it with a slice of grilled pineapple or slaw.

My Peanut Slaw

shredded cabbage (1 bag of) or half a cabbage shredded

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

1/4 cup mayo

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon peanut butter

salt & pepper to taste

2 green onions chopped

chopped peanuts, optional

Place cabbage in a large bowl. Mix all ingredients (minus the chopped peanuts & green onions) in a bowl with a whisk until everything is nicely incorporated. Nice arm work out:)

Pour as much dressing as you wish over the cabbage. Mix. Fold in green onions & peanuts.

-You can also mix the dressing in a jar, I like that because I rarely use all the dressing at once & can keep & refrigerate it in the jar.

Enjoy.
