Falafel Turkey Burgers Recipes

FALAFEL TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Chop the ingredients. In a food processor, pulse the parsley, cilantro, garlic, and red onion about 10 to 15 times or until well chopped. Add the cumin, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and chickpeas and repeat until minced.
• Make the burger mix. Either in the food processor or in a bowl, combine the ground turkey with the minced falafel ingredients.
• Make the patties. Divide the mix into 6 equal portions in a rough ball shape (5 1/2-ounce patties.) Place between two pieces of parchment paper and press down with a plate or saute pan until the patties are 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick. You can also form the patties by hand without parchment paper and jut wetting your hands with a little water to keep the mix from sticking to your hands.
• Grill the falafel burgers. Over medium-high heat, grill the burgers 5 minutes on each side until cooked through. When the burgers are about half-way done cooking on the second side top with any cheese.
• Assemble. Stack the cooked burgers on toasted whole wheat buns, feta cheese, tzatziki sauce, and pickled onions.

Steps:

• Pulse the chickpeas, garlic, half each of the scallions, cilantro and pickled peppers, the panko and cumin in a food processor until smooth, about 3 minutes. Form into 4 thin 3-inch patties.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until a golden crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, whisk the yogurt with the pickled pepper brine in a medium bowl and season with salt. Toss the salad greens, chopped tomato and the remaining scallions and cilantro with half of the yogurt dressing in a large bowl.
• Put the falafel patties on the sandwich thins; top with the sliced tomato and the remaining yogurt dressing and pickled peppers. Serve with the salad.

EASY FALAFEL BURGERS

Steps:

• Drain, rinse and dry the chickpeas thoroughly, then tip into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until lightly broken up into coarse crumbs.
• Add the onion, garlic, spices, parsley, flour and some seasoning, and continue to pulse until combined. Using your hands, gently form the mixture into 4 patties about 10cm in diameter and 2cm thick.
• In a large pan, heat the oil and fry the falafels on each side for 2-3 mins or until golden (you may need to do this in batches). Lightly griddle the burger buns on the cut side in a griddle pan, or toast under the grill.
• Spread one side of each bun with hummus, top with a falafel burger, add a handful of watercress, then pop the remaining bun half on top.
