Turkey Cranberry burgers

These burgers are full of flavor and low in fat. Just be sure to choose ground turkey breast instead of regular ground turkey, which may be a mixture of light and dark meat.

•1/2 cupfinely shredded carrot
•1/4 cupthinly sliced green onions
•2 tablespoonsfine dry bread crumbs
•2 tablespoonsfat-free milk
•1/4 teaspoondried Italian seasoning, crushed
•1/8 teaspoonsalt
•1/8 teaspoonground black pepper
•12 ouncesuncooked ground turkey breast or chicken breast
•1 cupmixed baby greens
•4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
•1/2 cupwhole cranberry sauce
Directions
In a medium bowl, stir together carrot, green onions, bread crumbs, milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add ground turkey; mix well. Shape the turkey mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.

Place patties on a greased grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes or until patties are done (165°F),* turning once halfway through grilling.

Arrange mixed greens on bottoms of buns. Top with grilled patties and cranberry sauce; replace top halves of buns.

Broiling Directions: Place patties on greased unheated broiler pan rack. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 11 to 13 minutes or until done (165°F),* turning once halfway through broiling

*Test Kitchen Tip: The internal color of a burger is not a reliable doneness indicator. A turkey or chicken patty cooked to 165°F is safe, regardless of color. To measure the doneness of a patty, insert an instant-read thermometer through the side of the patty to a depth of 2 to 3 inches.

LIme Coconut Torte

by Country Cook Joyce Gordon

Crust:
1 14 oz pkg of sweet flaked coconut
2 eggs
2 tbsp sugar

Toast all but 1 cup of the coconut, can be done in a fry pan or oven but stir often.
Take the toasted coconut, add the reserved cup, 2 eggs and sugar,mix well and press it evenly in a torte pan which you have sprayed with Pam.
I put a round piece of parchment paper in the bottom also.
Bake at 375 degree for 10 to 12 minutes or until it gets brown around the edges.
Put on cooling rack when finished to cool.

Filling:
4 oz of softened cream cheese
1/3 cup of powdered sugar
1 8 oz contained of thawed frozen whipped topping, minus 1 cup Thin lime slices Lime curd

Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, 3 tbsp of the curd and the whipped topping, (can add a little lime zest if you wish).
Spread over the coconut crust. (You can remove it to a plate or leave it in the pan).
Take part of the curd and drizzle it over the top, and run a knife through it, back and forth making a pretty design, then add the reserved whipped topping to a decorator bag and put some stars around the edges and add a lime slice ever so often.
Very pretty and sooooo good!

1 medium-size green bell pepper, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced

Preparation
Rinse and sort beans according to package directions. Place beans in a Dutch oven; cover with water 2 inches above beans, and let soak 8 hours. Drain beans, and rinse thoroughly; drain and set aside.

Cut smoked sausage into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

Sauté sausage in hot oil in Dutch oven over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes or until sausage is golden brown. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in Dutch oven. (Store sausage in refrigerator until you're ready to stir into bean mixture.) Add celery and next 3 ingredients to hot drippings, and sauté 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add tomatoes, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 7 minutes.

Stir in beans, broth, and next 5 ingredients; increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beans are tender. Stir in sausage, and simmer 30 more minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice. Garnish, if desired.

Note: For quick soaking, place kidney beans in a Dutch oven; cover with water 2 inches above beans, and bring to a boil. Boil 1 minute; cover, remove from heat, and let stand 1 hour. Drain as directed, and proceed with recipe. For testing purposes only, we used Conecuh Original Smoked Sausage, which is spicy.
