Hey everyone, tonight I decided to put together the first five dollar meal for all of you who are looking to save money and eat healthy and great tasting food. Tonight I prepared a Turkey Burger with Italian Sauteed Relish and Sweet Corn for under 5 dollars.  Keep in mind this recipe is good for other burgers and is always a favorite when i make it.

-4 Turkey burgers on sale for $2.99
-Bread for Buns .10 cents a slice

Italian Sauteed Relish
-Onion for .49 cents
-Garlic clove for .30 cents
-Fresh Basil FREE from Garden

Sweet Corn

I really think this is an important part of this blog, I really want to provide everyone with the ability to cook great tasting food for reasonable price. If you would like to see if I can make something for you or something special I will certainly try to make it for 5 dollars. Which is not bad since that's the going rate for a Big Mac and fries. So, if I can help feed the Fam for Big Mac money then I have accomplished what I have set out to do on here. I made this meal for  around $4.90 cents, you can eat well on a budget, you just need to know what to look for and what to do with it. Hopefully I can help, let me know if you want to see my budget version of some of your favorites!

As for the recipe its pretty simple:

Turkey Burgers

Start by defrosting your Turkey burgers, remember if you don't like Turkey Burgers you can substitute with anything. After burgers are defrosted, take a skillet and place olive oil, and a 1/8 of a stick of butter on the pan. This helps the burgers from sticking also helps add a ton of flavor to these burgers. Now place your Burgers on the pan on a medium high flame. Keep an eye on these burgers usually takes around 10-15 minutes with a flip half way for these to cook.

Nice Color on the Relish

Italian Burger Relish

Separately, Chop up a half of a onion, 2 cloves of garlic, about 8 leaves of Fresh Basil. Keep on the side, when your burgers are about 3/4 of the way finished, place the mixture in the middle of the skillet, this saute's the mixture in the olive oil and butter, incorparting all these flavors together to make a great relish topping for the burgers.

Sweet Corn

This is simple and delicous, bring to a boil a large pot full of salted water. Place ears of corn in boiling water, and wait 10-12 mintues, the ears will start to float and you will see they are ready to go. Once you drain the corn, place back in pot, throw in 1/4 stick of butter & Salt & Pep to add flavor. Shake the pot and mix the ears around until the butter has melted.

THE FINISHED PRODUCT

BELLA!!!

Although this recipe is simple, you will find it to be useful and modified to any type of burger or sandwich you would like to create. Once again Mi Famiglia is full and so is our WALLETS! haha which is growing to be more and more important these days. Just remember that no amount of money can take the place of family and close ones. Whats all that money good for if you do not have anyone to share it with? Take every day for what it is and hang in there. Until next time.

Empty Plates = Satisfaction
