CAJUN BURGERS
Meet the Cook: My family likes its food spicy. I found the original recipe for these burgers in a cookbook, then added and subtracted ingredients until they suited our taste. Cajun Burgers are always on the menu whenever we have company over for a backyard cookout. Like my husband, I was raised in the country. We have four children (20, 16, 13 and 9) and now a grandson, too! -Julie Culbertson, Bansalem, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- Mix the Cajun seasoning ingredients together with a good grinding of black pepper and a sprinkling of salt. Set aside in a large dish.
- Gently flatten out the chicken (bash it gently with a rolling pin between two pieces of cling film), then drizzle with half of the oil and toss into the seasoning until completely coated.
- Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan. Sizzle the chicken for 5 minutes on each side, until firm. Push to one side of the pan, then fry the bacon for a few minutes until cooked (of course you could always grill it!).
- While the chicken is cooking, halve, stone, peel and slice the avocados. Cut the ciabattas in half and toast the cut side of the buns. Cover the tops of the buns with cheese and grill until melted.
- Spread the bottom half of the bun with mayo (if using). Top with a handful of spinach, then a rasher of bacon. To keep the avocado in place, slice the chicken then alternate between a slice of avocado and chicken (I just cut almost through the chicken and push a slice of avocado into it).
- Top with the bun with melted cheese,press down lightly and serve with your favourite fries and salad!

Steps:
- 1. *PRE HEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREES. Season 2 pounds of ground beef with Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. You could also use the lower salt or salt free versions. The spice is what is needed. About 1-3 teaspoons per pound, but adjust according to your family's taste and salt requirements or restrictions.
- 2. After seasoning, pat out by hand, the ground beef patties, about 8 ounces each, and form into oval turtle shell shapes.
- 3. Slice each hotdog in half lengthwise. Then cut each hotdog in half. Use 1/2 a hotdog for each head, tail, and leg, cutting slits into the ends of the "legs" to make the turtle "toes" and insert them into the turtle body patty. Use the wooden toothpicks to hold the head, legs, and tail in place.
- 4. Top each one with one slice of sharp cheddar cheese. Place flat on platter and chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- 5. Remove from refrigerator and wrap and weave each patty with bacon strips to enclose the cheese slice and form the shell. Use toothpicks to hold the strips of bacon if needed. The wood toothpicks should hold the head, legs, and tail in place.
- 6. Place on a rack in a 2" deep baking pan/dish which has been lined with foil. *It's better if you place them on a rack, so that the excess grease drains off while the turtle-burgers bake. It also makes the turtle shells crunchy.
- 7. Bake at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the patties.
- 8. Remove from oven and let rest on a platter for 10 minutes prior to serving.
- 9. These a cute when served on a plate of dirty rice and surrounded by a bed of leafy green lettuce.
- 10. A little crispy-crunchy... kind of spicy... just how a good turtle-burger should be! I'm talkin' bout good, yeah!!!
