Month 3 day 14: Jerk Turkey Burgers

Sooo there is a gunman on campus?? For real this time-- there is a picture of a policeman's blood on the ground. It's just incomprehensible, so I'm going to just pretend like nothing is happening and write this post.

Today I made:
Jerk Turkey Burgers with Mango Slaw, Food Network Magazine April 2010
using this recipe for jerk seasoning, minus the oil
Served with baked sweet potato fries (drizzled with EVOO and sprinkled with paprika and salt, roasted at 400 F)

I thought we had jerk seasoning, but we didn't so I made some. It wasn't really spicy though, so after reading the reviews I think it might not have been right. We also couldn't find mango chutney (not even sure where to look exactly... not with the jams, not with the jars of pickles.... where else to look?), but the recipe said instead you could use lime juice, honey, and curry powder. We used that, but I do think mango would've been really nice. As it was, G still said to keep this recipe. It would be pretty quick, other than making the seasoning from in the middle, and then our burgers were a little fat, so they took a long time to cook (and basically the outsides just charred :-( Not in a bad-tasting way, though).
We love baked sweet potato fries. Haven't had them in a while, but they are always great and so easy.
Making slaw from a bagged mix is so easy too. G doesn't normally like cole slaw, but I suppose if we made our own we could find a type he liked.
