Holly's Turkey Loco Moco



I know I have said it before but I just want to reiterate how much I love food in Hawaii. Hawaii is such a great melting pot of Asian/American fusion food. Before I changed my ways every once in a while I would treat myself to a plate lunch. Usually it was either BBQ Chicken or something like that. I never really ate Loco Moco's until about three years ago. I was always afraid of how fattening they are. Regular Loco Moco's consist of: hamburger patty, rice, gravy and a runny over easy egg. 

 I had ground turkey I needed to use and leftover turkey gravy and that gave me the idea to try this. I have say, this was a lighter version of the real thing. I did make rice for Mike but I skipped the rice myself. This had a nice lightness to it compared to the regular Loco Moco you buy at plate lunch places. Mike and I literally inhaled it. 

Ingredients:
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup Planko bread crumbs
  • 1 turkey gravy packet
  • Eggs over easy (make as much as you want)
  • Optional: 2 slivers of onions
  • Optional: Rice (I got Mike eating only brown rice but traditionally this is meant to go with white rice)
Directions:
  1. Mix the ground turkey with the Worcestershire sauce and bread crumbs. Planko Bread Crumbs keep burgers together but I tried to use not use very much. I had no problem flipping the burgers. 
  2. For the Burgers either Grill on an outdoor grill, a George Foreman grill (what I used) or on the stove in a pan. 
  3. Cook the gravy on the stove according to the packaging directions. 
  4. Either cook the rice in a rice cooker, on the stove or in the microwave (I used the microwave). 
  5. I cut two slivers of the onions so I pulled them apart and grilled them on the grill once the burgers were done. 
  6. Cook as many eggs over easy you want on the stove, just be sure the egg yolk is runny. 
  7. Put the egg(s), turkey burger, (onions) and gravy all together. Along with the rice if you choose to have rice.

Image Source:  http://paperfly.hubpages.com/hub/Bacon-Wrapped-Stuffed-Sweet-Peppers I got the original recipe from:  http://paperfly.hubpages.com/hub/Bacon-Wrapped-Stuffed-Sweet-Peppers I did add a few ingredients to add more flavor. Here is what I did:  Ingredients: 2 large containers of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (Sorry but I cannot stand any type of generic cream cheese, it's got to be Philadelphia and the low calorie one) 1 bag (about 20-25) small multi colored sweet peppers 1 TBS dried basil 1 TSP dried parsley 1 TSP garlic powder About 1/4 of a cup of Romano cheese 1 Package of regular bacon (I did cut the pieces in half so there would be more but next time I will be sure to just get 2 packages of bacon --  I recommend getting 2 packages.  Directions: Wash the peppers.  Cut around the stem at the top to remove steam and core/seeds. The peppers should be left whole, not cut in half. Set aside.  In a bowl combine cream ...

I'm Still Here!

It's been almost exactly four years since I posted anything. I got talking to someone today and mentioned I have this cooking blog. From time to time I mention I have it but have not done much with it since 2013. Why the break? For several reasons. The first reason, I became single and lost my main taste tester. Going from cooking for two to one for sure effected this blog. I also stopped posting during my break up. I did not want to advertise online what was going on and just needed to take my life off line a bit. The second reason: I moved to a different state, not once but twice. I moved to San Diego, California in October of 2013. I was there for a year and a half. I then moved to a suburb of Dallas, Texas in January of 2015. This is where I currently live and plan on staying. I have extended family here and why I made the move. About a year ago my mom retired and also moved here. She lives about twenty minutes away from me. I also have an aunt two miles away. I still hav...

Asian Flank Steak Marinade

I found this recipe at:  www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Grilled-Asian-Flank-Steak-with-Sweet-Slaw-242464 But I was in a bit of a hurry and ended up using it more of an inspiration recipe. This came out surprisingly good. I did pair this with some mashed celery root and vegetables.  Ingredients: 1 & 1/2 pound flank steak 1/4 cup soy sauce 5 TBS vegetable oil 1 & 1/2 TSP ground ginger 1 TSP garlic powder Directions: Combine all ingredients and put into a zip lock bag.  Let this marinade for about 30 minutes.  You can cook this on a grill or stove top. I used my stove top and it came out fine.
