Why Not a Recipe? (Garlic Marinara Turkey Burger over Polenta)



1 Cup Polenta
4 Turkey Burger Patties (Turkey Meatballs could work too)
1 Tomato
1/2 Onion
A lovin' spoonful of olive oil*
1 Garlic Clove
Marinara Sauce

*While not officially recognized by most measurement standards, the "lovin' spoonful" is one of my scales of guesstimation. In this case it refers to just enough to coat the pan that's being used.  


  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the polenta and turn the heat down low. Dice up the tomato and onion and add them. Let that cornmeal goodness simmer away for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Put your favorite fry pan on medium heat with the olive oil. Dice up the garlic and toss it in there to get brown and fragrant. You can save some of the onion and add it here as well. Then toss in your turkey of choice to soak up a lot of the oily flavor. Let that stuff get a good simmer on, stirring/turning so nothing gets burned.
  3. You can either add the marinara sauce to the pan with the turkey or cook it in a separate saucepan.
  4. Stack up that goodness. 1. Polenta 2. Meat 3. Sauce
  5. Chow down on that savory feast that's gonna stick to your bones (and your breath) for a good long time.
