Comment: Yeah, I know what you're thinking, not only is the review not a burger, but it's a homemade dish. But sometimes a homemade dish is so good it needs to be shared. This creation was the by product of one of my brother-in-law's recipes with a lot of help from my Niece, Ava.  Chef Jude at the BHF was nice enough to let us build this masterpiece in the Fishery's kitchen before things got busy. Thanks Chef Jude! Rather than bore you with having to read 3 pages of "how to" stuff, I've put together a "step-by-step" photo album which should give you more for less, enjoy. BTW, this thing is freakin delicious, def a 10/10 for me.     Great job Avers.

Choppin onions...

Two tubes of crescent rolls to be used later...

Cubed turkey breast and Swiss cheese...

Cubed Spam deep fried to a golden brown....(stupid)

No sense in me telling you what this is.....

Ditto...

No Dijon compares to Grey Poupon, although some Frenchie's would argue that statement (but what do they know)

Add ingredients in large bowl....

Dump in a bunch of this....

Chop and add some of these....

Mix well......

Avers!!!

What would any recipe be without crisp bacon....

Birth of the Sun...

Avers and Chef Jude....

The Sun is complete, on to the stuffing...

With the addition of the bacon, we can now stuff the ring...

Stuff it, then...

Wrap it...

Now my favorite ingredient....

Pour melted butter all over it...

A sprinkle of fresh ground coarse black pepper....

Push some additional walnuts into the top, sprinkle with chopped parsley...

Into the oven....

Wait till you get to the close-ups.....

Dear Lord.... thank you.... 

Salty, slightly sweet, creamy goodness...
