Hoisin Turkey Burgers With Quick Pickles And Chili Garlic Yogurt Recipes

ASIAN TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Put the bulgur in a medium bowl and add the boiling water. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand until the bulgur is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk the vinegar and sugar with a generous seasoning of salt and pepper until dissolved. Add the cucumber and onion, toss well and set aside to marinate for about 30 minutes.
• In a separate small bowl combine the yogurt and chili garlic sauce. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Drain the bulgur and put into a large bowl. Add the turkey, hoisin, scallions, ginger, garlic and chopped cilantro and mix until just combined. Form into 4 equal sized patties.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until very hot. Lightly brush both sides of each patty with oil and place in the skillet. Cook, turning once, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Drain the pickled vegetables and toss with the whole cilantro. Spread some spicy yogurt sauce on the top and bottom of each bun and top with a burger patty and some pickles.

KNIFE-AND-FORK CHILI TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the Burgers: Mix all the ingredients together with your hands, except the oil, in a bowl.
• Divide the meat mixture into 10 equal-sized patties.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the burgers, turning once, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes per side. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the thickest burger should read at least 165 degrees F.)
• Divide the burgers among plates--2 to a plate. Dollop each serving with mayonnaise and stack lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle on top.
• Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

MEDITERRANEAN TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine the yogurt, feta, cucumber, mint, half of the garlic, 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Combine the turkey, the remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then add the patties and cook until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Spread the yogurt sauce on the buns. Sandwich with the burgers; top with lettuce and tomato. Serve with potato chips.

TURKEY AND ZUCCHINI BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine the turkey, zucchini, carrot, chili powder, coriander, cumin, scallions, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until well blended. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties and brush both sides of each with the oil.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook, flipping once, until browned on the outside and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Serve on the toasted buns with lettuce, mustard and red onion; add pickle spears on the side.

HOISIN GARLIC BURGERS

Steps:

• In bowl, combine beef, breadcrumbs, green onions, coriander, hoisin sauce, garlic, gingerroot and egg; mix well. Make 4 to 5 burgers.
• In small bowl whisk together water, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Brush half of the sauce over top of burgers.
• Place on greased grill and barbecue, or place on rack on baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes (at 450F)(or until no longer pink inside). Turn patties once and brush with remaining sauce.

SPICY CHIPOTLE TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate. Place the ground turkey, onion, cilantro, chipotle chile pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl; mix well. Form into 4 patties.
• Cook the hamburgers on the preheated grill until the turkey is no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Place the mozzarella slices on the patties 2 minutes before they are ready. Serve on the toasted buns.

GUACAMOLE TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• To make guacamole, sliced avocados in half, lengthwise. Remove the pit and discard. Scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon into a bowl.
• Add juices, chili powder, salsa and salt and mash with a fork until nicely chunky.
• Cover with plastic and set aside. (If you want to make the guacamole an hour or so ahead of time, you can keep it fresh in its bowl in the refrigerator by pressing plastic wrap onto the surface of the guacamole so that no air reaches the avocado, which is what makes it turn brown.)
• In a bowl, combine garlic, salt, pepper, cumin and paprika until thoroughly blended.
• Brush each patty on both sides with olive and sprinkle with the seasoning blend on both sides.
• Using a skillet or grill pan, cook patties over medium-high heat, covered, about 5 to 6 minutes per side, until no pink remains. If you're adding cheese, do so for about the last 1 minute of cooking.
• Brush each bun on both sides with melted butter and warm in another skillet over medium-high heat for about 15 seconds per side, just until toasty.
• Place patties on each bun bottom, top with guacamole and other desired trimmings. Serve with a little salsa on the side.
