7/9/90 A few years ago, when I was eating turkey burger regularly, I made a couple small turkey burger "meat loafs", the name I gave to large oval turkeyburgers, and froze them. Quite a while later, when they came out and defrosted in the refrigerator, I made 1/4" slices, maybe 1/2 ", and enjoyed a turkey burger pate. It was still moist and just terribly tasty. Below is my recipe for ham-burger, which is what I use for meat loaf, too. 1 lb. turkey burger 1 heaping tbs grey poupon mustard 1 tbs ketchup 1 egg 1 tbs worcestshire sauce 1 tbs italian flavored bread crumbs (e.g., Progresso) P.S. I have recently begun adding Reggiano Parmigian to my hamburgers, and they add positively. It wasn't in the little meatloafs, and I'll bet it wouldn't hurt Mix thoroughly, make two small meat loafs, broil 5-7 minutes each side. Let cool, wrap individually, and freeze. When ready to use, allow defrosting in refrigerator. The cooking times are approximations - turn them when the top begins to show black - the black also adds a nice taste.
