Cream Cheese Stuffed Turkey Burger Recipes

PAT'S STUFFED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
• Add the garlic, onion, turkey, mustard, soy sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste, to a large mixing bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Divide the turkey into 8 equal-sized balls and flatten them into patties. Lay 2 slices of cheese on 4 of the patties and cover each with another patty. Pinch the edges to seal the patties closed, so the cheese will not melt out.
• Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper, to taste, and brush with olive oil. Grill for 2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill to a plate. Toast the buns on the grill and set aside.
• Grill the burgers until cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer the burgers to the buns and top with Spicy Mayo Sauce, lettuce and grilled tomatoes.
• Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.

CREAM CHEESE STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and bacon bits in a small bowl.
• Season your ground beef the way you like (I used salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder) and mix well.
• Shape the beef into patties. I made 8 patties which will make 4 HUGE burgers. If you want to make more burgers that are smaller, make more patties.
• Take one patty and put a spoonful of the cheese filling into the middle. Take another patty and put it on top of the filling, sealing the patties together.
• Preheat your grill on medium high. Grill burgers for 5-10 minutes on each side or until the meat is done to your liking.

INSIDE OUT TURKEY CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Set grill to medium heat. Clean and oil the grates.
• Fold each slice of cheese into quarters to create 4 short stacks.
• Divide the ground turkey into 8 equal balls then flatten into 1/4 inch thick patties.
• Place a stack of cheese in the center of 4 patties and top with the remaining 4 patties. Pinch the edges to seal, then push the up the sides so they are an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
• Place patties and oiled grill and cover, cook about 6 minutes per side over medium heat, or until the center is cooked through. Transfer to buns with toppings and be sure to let it cool before biting into the center so you don't burn your mouth.

THANKSGIVING FLAVORED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onion and celery until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Place the cooked onion and celery in a large bowl with the ground turkey, stuffing mix, and eggs; mix to thoroughly combine. Form the mixture into 16 patties. Unlike hamburger, these patties will not change shape while cooking, so make them even in size.
• Grill the turkey burgers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place each patty on a hamburger bun, and top with cranberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream cheese to serve.
