Post by: wyogoob on August 17, 2012, 01:54:30 AM
My grandsons are Ninja Turtle dudes.   So I'm gonna surpise them with Turtle Burgers on the grill tonight:

Turtle eggs (high temp cheese):

Cut the hot dogs in half, and with scissors fashion the heads, tails and feet. 
Notch the hot dog ends to help hold them in the burger patty.
Use whole peppercorns for the eyes.
Chop up the leftover hot dog trimmings and add to burger.
Make a patti and cover with bacon strips in a weave pattern.
Insert heads, tails, and feet and then re-shape and flatten the turtle body.
Cook on BBQ grill using low heat heat until the burger is done.

Cooked them in a BBQ grill.  It was OK, but the bottoms burned some.  Next time I will try the oven.

We went through this with another heathen couple of years ago.  I thought we'd gotten rid of the cannibals but I see they've been replaced. Shame!
