Grilled Turkey
As you may know from my previous post on Grilled Vegetables, I prefer charcoal for my grilling. So when Foodbuzz asked me to participate in the Tastemaker Program for some free turkey meat and a free Flip™ Video Ultra HD Camcorder I said yes! And they approved it too!
Last week the Flip arrived and then a few days later a huge box of turkey too! So, weekend before last, and over the course of three days of filming and two days of post-production we created this neat video of our Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program “Grilling Turkey”. Thank you Foodbuzz and Shady Brook Farms for the wonderful turkey meat and the Flip™ Video Ultra HD Camcorder!
Perfect timing too with another tasting sample, we got in a box of Nature’s Pride Premium Harvest Buns and Rolls also. All told, as part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received four containers of ground turkey meat, four containers of turkey brats, the Flip™ Video Ultra HD Camcorder, a pack of Nature’s Pride Premium Harvest Whole Wheat Buns, one pack of Wheat Buns, and one pack of Hoagie Rolls.
First, here is the video for your viewing pleasure!
I am sharing with you two recipes, the Turkey Brats and Beer, and the Garden Turkey Burgers too! Enjoy!

Brats is the short term for bratwurst, a type of sausage.

I always use turkey versus beef! This is great! Thanks

I could not bring myself to use a gas grill. Charcoal is certainly the only way to go 🙂
21 Southern Cook // Jul 13, 2010 at 2:05 pm
I made this last night and can I say– Uh. May. Zing.
22 Boudreaux Ryan // Jul 13, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Jessie, thank you so much!
Dawn, thanks and I do have some more videos in the works, just takes time to film, edit and such.
Tamar, hey, you noticed! The first and last takes were done before the haircut, then the middle takes were done after the cut. Also, did you notice anything else?
Doc, thanks man!
Angie, it is amazing flavor with the beer!
Magic, thank you!
Deborah, yes, we were excited when selected, the voting starts on the 16th.
Rick, Ingrid: thanks!
FrenchPressMemos, Charcoal all the way babe!
