Loco moco is a classic Hawaiian dish. This version lightens it up a bit with a turkey burger. A delicious way to use up leftover gravy.

common recipe questions
Why is it called "Loco Moco"?
The dish was created at the Lincoln Grill restaurant in Hawaii, in 1949. It was a request by patrons from the Lincoln Wreckers Sports club. They named it after a member's nickname (which was "Crazy" but they used the Spanish word, loco, instead) and added "moco" to it just to make it rhyme.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

Real loco moco is one of my favorites but it's a bit calorie heavy. This turkey version is pretty tasty but still not very diet friendly. I used fat-free gravy which helped lower the fat content a bit. Might try it over cauliflower rice.
