Rachael Ray Show

Rach created this meaty burger for her good friend, Daym Drops. If he thinks it's delicious, you'll be sure to love it too!

No. 2: Spicy Turkey Burgers with Barbecued Onions

Turkey burgers often get a bad rap for being too dry since they have to be fully cooked through. To combat this, Rachael grates an onion right into the ground turkey mixture to help keep the meat moist.

Like we said, there's a little something for everyone. But don't let this meat-free creation fool you -- it's one hearty burger!

No. 4: Michael Symon’s Fried Potatoes With Pulled Pork and Cleveland-Style BBQ Sauce

A barbecue doesn't always have to involve a grill. Give your backyard smoker a little love (if you don't have a smoker, just roast it in the oven) and make this flavorful pulled pork recipe. Pile it high on toasted rolls, baked potatoes, or you can even eat it straight up. The options for your guests are endless!
