Welcome to The Karney Family Recipe Site!

I have many vivid and wonderful memories of family and friends gathering around the table to celebrate holidays, special events, and just the companionship of one another. Meals were always a special event whether eaten at a table with cloth napkins, holiday decorations and the good china, or on a picnic table with a red checkered tablecloth on a balmy summer day.

Throughout history, meals have always occupied a special place in the world's great religions. As we gather for sustenance and companionship, we are in our most vulnerable human condition, and that's where the Divine enters. This is precisely why mealtime is sacred and shouldn't be subservient to television, texting, or other interruptions. We need each other's companionship and the opportunity to be fully human so much that we can't let distractions overwhelm us.

My wife, Natalie, and I have always enjoyed cooking. As our sons, Jared, Jeff, and Kevin got older they all became good cooks. I had been working on putting together a book of both traditional family recipes and favorite newer recipes, but how do you ever say such a thing is done? So, I decided that the best solution would be to put the recipes online where they would be available to friends and family and now, of course, to anyone else who is interested. Now we have added Izabella, Amie, and Katy, three wonderful daughters-in-law. With their extended families, I'm sure they will be contributing some wonderful recipes.

So! Make some great food, gather around the table with your loved ones and strangers as well, give thanks to God, share your stories, and celebrate life.

Bon appetit! - Mark Karney

When we went to St. Louis to view the 2017 eclipse, Kevin and Katy built a party around the event and served these luscious Asian Turkey Burgers. They reminded us of our Porkies (Barbecued Pork Patties) on this site, but are probably a bit healthier. We made them for a group of friends and they were a real hit.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

1# Ground Turkey
2 Shallots, finely choppped
2 Cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. Fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 cup Cilantro, chopped
1 tsp. Sriracha
4 tsp. Light Soy Sauce
Salt
Pepper
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
4 Hamburger buns

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, shallot, ginger, garlic, 1/2 cup cilantro, 1 teaspoon sriracha, and 4 teaspoons soy sauce.
Season with salt and pepper.
Form the mixture into 4 patties (The mixture will be very soft, finish forming them once they are in the pan.)
Heat a little oil in a large frying pan over medium high-heat. Season the burgers liberally with salt and pepper. Add the burgers to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
Transfer the burgers to a foil-lined cookie sheet in the oven to finish cooking for 5-7 minutes.
Meanwhile, In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and as much sriracha as you like. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Split the buns and place in the oven to toast for 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a little sriracha mayo onto each bun, then top with a turkey burger and some of the remaining cilantro.

Notes

Ground turkey does not hold it's shape well, so it is essential to pan-fry the burgers. They would probably not work well on the grill.

Thanksgiving Turkey Stuffing

Holidays, Poultry, Side Dish Comments Off

Nov 272012

This is the traditional recipe for Thanksgiving turkey stuffing that Natalie has made since we’ve been cooking our own Turkey. Everyone raves about it, and for us it’s the definitive stuffing. It’s the recipe that she got from her mother. I might add, that as long as she’s been making it, (25 years+), I’ve been cooking the Thanksgiving bird outside on the Weber.
