Break Up to Make Up, That's All We Do

Lettuce Cheese Burgers with Kale over Polenta

Using Romaine lettuce, and eating this as a hand-held turkey burger requires you to cut the patty into thin strips to lay down and fold into each of the lettuce leaves.  It's worth the effort to construct each bite even though it feels a little foolish at first.  Otherwise, it's more of a burger salad, which doesn't sound as sexy. 

When I know ahead of time which lettuce I'll be using, I form the burgers in long tubes so I don't have to break apart afterwards.  Either way, it's delicious.
