Cheesy Turkey Burger Recipes

CHEESY MEXICAN TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Start the barbecue or preheat the grill.
• Remove the core and seeds from the tomato and finely dice the flesh.
• In a bowl, add to the tomato: the turkey, mexican cheese, paprika and fresh coriander. Mix well.
• Divide the mixture into four and shape into burgers. If you have time, cover and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to let the flavours blend.
• Place a sheet of foil over the barbecue or grill, or use a baking sheet if preferred- because these burgers are made from a low fat meat, they can break up if not handled carefully, so the foil helps them to stay together. Handle and flip them with care.
• Place the burgers on the barbecue or under a grill, on the foil or baking sheet.
• Cook for 15 minutes, flipping regularly.
• If using a barbecue, remove the foil at this point- after 15 minutes- so the burgers pick up the chargrilled flavour in the next 10 minutes.
• Cook for a further 10 minutes (whether using a barbeque or a grill) or until completely cooked through.
• Serve with salsa if desired, on burger buns, Mexican rice, or whatever takes your fancy!

TURKEY CHEDDAR BURGERS

Steps:

• Make burgers:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cook shallot in oil with salt and pepper in an 8-inch skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a bowl. Add turkey and mix gently but thoroughly.
• Turn out turkey mixture onto a sheet of wax paper and divide into 8 equal mounds. Pat 1 mound into a 4-inch patty and top with 1 piece of cheese, then put a second mound on top, patting it onto other patty to enclose cheese. Pinch edges together to seal and shape into a single patty. Make 3 more burgers in same manner.
• Heat an oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then grill burgers, turning over once, until just cooked through (no longer pink), 8 to 9 minutes total.
• While burgers are cooking, heat rolls on a baking sheet in oven until crusty, about 5 minutes. Transfer rolls to a rack to cool slightly.
• Make mayonnaise and assemble burgers:
• Purée tomatoes with water, vinegar, and salt in a blender or mini food processor, scraping down sides as necessary, then blend in mayonnaise.
• Cut rolls in half horizontally (if necessary) and spread cut sides with tomato mayonnaise. Serve burgers on rolls with lettuce.
