There is something about cooking your food on a barbecue that just screams SUMMER. Whether you are grilling on a charcoal or gas barbecue, the food just tastes much better when it is cooked outside, in the fresh air, over a fire. Not to mention, on those beautiful summer days, no one wants to be cooped up in the kitchen, with the oven on and pots boiling. It’s much more relaxing to be in the great outdoors while the smell of your grilling food wafts through the neighborhood. Have you ever gone for a walk through your neighborhood and been able to smell someone’s grilled food while walking by? Even if you’ve just eaten, it is sure to make your mouth salivate just a little bit.

If you’re tired of grilling the same old hot dogs & hamburgers, maybe it’s time to add some new, exciting recipes to your BBQ repertoire. Like these Grilled Turkey and Pineapple Stuffed Mushrooms. They are perfect as an appetizer, or as a light side. A few of these, paired with a salad, is a nice light summertime dinner.

This recipe, along with 19 more mouth-watering recipes, can be found in two fabulous new FREE grilling e-books. I am one of 10 blogger contributors to Mushrooms Canada and Turkey Farmers of Canada‘s new summer grilling e-books. I am so impressed with the recipes that everyone has contributed, you will be blown away by all the different ways that they have prepared mushrooms and turkey on the grill.

Greek-Style Turkey Burgers

OK, I admit it. I’ve fallen behind. I have a few recipes for the grill, but our weather here, isn’t so grill friendly anymore. But, maybe we’ll still have a few warm days where you are, to get out and try out these recipes. I’m sure they’d work great on an indoor grill or grilling pan too, if you have one.

We really liked these Greek-Style Turkey Burgers. The gluten-eaters ate their on a bun, but I had mine topped with a slice of feta cheese, cucumbers, sliced red onion and tomato. Tasty! They are really low in fat, a good protein, and taste amazing!
