Hi, this is Colleen Cleek, the CLASSY GOURMET with What's in season. Coffee and the good morning show here on 1110 KFAB.

Its Turkey season and my son Owen and Poppy bagged a big one this year along with a few small Jake's.

It's time for turkey burgers and fajitas. Most of the turkey meat is ground; I can then add it to chili and breakfast burritos but the winner at our house in Teriyaki Burgers.

Add 1 egg to every pound of ground meat, along with ¼ cup teriyaki sauce, ¼ cup BBQ sauce, and 1/3 cup or more or finely processed bread crumbs. Salt and pepper as you grill.

Use and indoor grill pan so you can keenly control the temperature. High heat is used just at the beginning to mark then Low & Slow until done. They burn easily with all the sauce and egg.

Serve with your favorite condiments and grandmas' refrigerator pickles.

Hi,

This is Colleen Cleek The CLASSY GOURMET with What's in Season.

Are you out looking for Mushrooms?

Morrell mushroom hunting is a family activity that can be fun and profitable.

Fresh mushrooms sprout up once a year and are sold between $50- $75 dollars a pond depending on the yield.

Often called sponge mushrooms, these distinctive mushrooms appear honeycomb-like in that the upper portion is composed of a network of ridges with pits between them.

They can be found in low lying moist areas, in Nebraska they are line the rivers and moist forest lands. Growing up I would ride my horse along the Missouri river flat lands, tie 5 gallon buckets to my saddle and hunt all day.

The mushrooms can be battered and pan fried or dried and used all year round.

It's that time of the year when Mangos are what's in season.

Mangoes account for approximately half of all tropical fruits produced worldwide.

Generally, ripe mangoes have an orange-yellow or reddish peel and are juicy for eating, while exported fruit are often picked while under-ripe with green peels unripened fruits are also pickled and made into jams and marmalade. The best way to cut a mango called the hedgehog method cut around the hairy fibrous seed then cross hatch the mango with its skin on and turn it inside out, creating the hedgehog. Peel and eat.

The waxy leaves of the Mango tree are used for decorations in floral arrangements and wedding ceremonies.

Over the next month or so the prices of Mango's will drop from $1.99 each to $ .69-.89.

Be sure to check out the KFAB What's in Season page for Colleen's mango Margaritas and Mango Cosmo's.
