Last time we asked Jonathan Frakes (aka Cmdr. William T. Riker of the USS Enterprise) what our next burger theme should be. His response? The Roswell Alien Burger. And what did we come up with?
Some may claim it’s just a weather balloon, but oh no, what we have here is 100% New-Mexican gray alien. Mixed with chopped jalapeno, onion, and hi there’s own fresh parsley, topped with blue cheese and bacon on a flying saucer bun. Oh yeah, and check out the secret alien cargo, a giant blue cheese-stuffed olive.
1lb ground turkey (for that gray alien meat)
2 jalapenos
1/4 large onion
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/2 tsp ground cumin
4 slices of blue cheese
6 full strips of bacon
2 of the biggest olives you can find
Place turkey in a large bowl, chop jalapenos, onion, and parsley and add to the mix, and add cumin. BBQ at a low-medium temperature (around 400C) for about 15-20 min (keep an eye on them). Start frying bacon on low on the side. Add cheese a few minutes before they’re done. Serve on your favourite bun, the more flaying saucer-like the better. Serves 2, these are massive burgers. No replicators – all from scratch!

I’m a vegetarian so this does not appeal to me whatsoever. That aside, apart from your less-than-perfect presentation, you did one hell of a fine job here, gentlemen. Now, I’m off to consume some “assorted vegetables“.
It may taste great to those into that kind of thing, but A) I agree with Cmdr. Spock – it “looks” horrible. B) Personally, it doesn’t sound like a workable combination of ingredients. But I hope it’s successful for you and it’s a great effort, if nothing else!
Take me to your burger. I bet Bishop could eat two.
I love the ‘crashed saucer’ presentation, though I could do without the olives. I would like to meet aliens, not eat them :(
Ultimate burger from the henry house.
