Foodbuzz Tastemaker: Grilled Turkey

Grilled Turkey

As you may know from my previous post on Grilled Vegetables, I prefer charcoal for my grilling. So when Foodbuzz asked me to participate in the Tastemaker Program for some free turkey meat and a free Flip? Video Ultra HD Camcorder I said yes! And they approved it too!

Last week the Flip arrived and then a few days later a huge box of turkey too! So, weekend before last, and over the course of three days of filming and two days of post-production we created this neat video of our Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program “Grilling Turkey”. Thank you Foodbuzz and Shady Brook Farms for the wonderful turkey meat and the Flip? Video Ultra HD Camcorder!

Perfect timing too with another tasting sample, we got in a box of Nature’s Pride Premium Harvest Buns and Rolls also. All told, as part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received four containers of ground turkey meat, four containers of turkey brats, the Flip? Video Ultra HD Camcorder, a pack of Nature’s Pride Premium Harvest Whole Wheat Buns, one pack of Wheat Buns, and one pack of Hoagie Rolls.

First, here is the video for your viewing pleasure!

I am sharing with you two recipes, the Turkey Brats and Beer, and the Garden Turkey Burgers too! Enjoy!
