Thai Turkey Burgers with Peanut Sauce If there’s one thing I’ve learned during my 28 years on this earth, it’s that some things are simply worth paying more for, to get a better quality product or overall experience. Things like… Workout clothes (the cheap stuff never fits right,) name brand chunky canned soup (my brother learned this the hard way,) beer (’nuff said,) and direct flights (I can’t even mentally go back here.) Oh yeah, and grill covers. Ben and I thought we scored a sweet deal when we snagged a $15 no-name grill cover on clearance at a home improvement store last Fall, until the first hint of a winter wind came along and tore this thing apart like it was made of tissue paper! I’m afraid to open the lid and find out what the grates look like underneath, which I should probably do sooner rather than later as grilling season will seriously be here before we know it (whee!) Thai Turkey Burgers with Peanut Sauce! Which is what we move to next! See? Thai Turkey Burgers with Peanut Sauce Print this recipe! Makes 4 burgers
