Restaurant turkey burgers. Every time I decide to "be good" and order a turkey burger instead of a regular hamburger I wind up disappointed and often disgusted. From now on I'll only eat homemade turkey burgers that I know are good.

Do you have a good recipe for turkey burgers perchance? I, too, have never had a good experience with restaurant turkey burgers.

Canned beans. Earlier this year, I read (here somewhere) of someone cooking dried beans and freezing them. It had never occurred to me to do that, even though I've always considered the canned flavor quite inferior. I used to open a can of black beans for nachos, eat them for days, and still throw some away when they got too old. Now I cook a dry pound, freeze, and thaw only the quantity I need. I've done this with garbanzos too, and now I make hummus a lot more often than before--again, the canned taste was kind of a deterrent. Better flavor, less waste, and cheaper too!

Many thanks to whomever mentioned freezing beans!
