TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• For the burgers: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Add the onions, season with salt and bring to a medium-high heat. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and very aromatic, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the scallions, garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the turkey, water chestnuts, cilantro, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sambal oelek and the onion mixture. (Reserve the onion pan to cook the burgers in later.) Using your hands, squish everything together until really well combined.
• Make and cook a little tester patty to be sure that the turkey is really well seasoned. Re-season if needed. If the burger is missing salt add more soy or just give a little sprinkey dink of salt.
• When the burger mix is seasoned appropriately, shape it into 4 equal patties.
• Coat the saute pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Place the burgers in the pan. Be sure not to crowd the pan, if you need to work in batches go ahead! Cook the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes on each side.
• Preheat the oven to high broil.
• Transfer the burgers to a baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Place the buns, cut side up, on the same rack. Transfer to a low rack in the oven and broil until the burgers are cooked through and the buns are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the buns from the rack and top the burgers with cheese. Return to the oven and broil until the cheese melts, about 1 minute.
• Stir to combine the mayonnaise and remaining 1 tablespoon sambal oelek in a small bowl. Schmear each side of the bun lightly with the sambaal mayo. Put a burger on each of the bottom buns and top each burger with a slice of tomato and onion and a piece of lettuce. Close up each burger, give each one a little squish and eat em' up!

GOURMET PUB BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, shallot, Dijon mustard, egg, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Refrigerate mixture to incorporate flavors, 20 minutes to 2 hours.
• Form ground beef mixture into 6 patties.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat; lay pancetta slices in a single layer in the hot skillet. Cook until pancetta begins to sweat, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pancetta from skillet and keep warm.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook patties on the preheated grill until burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well burgers. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Place 1 burger into each of the buns; top burger with a pancetta slice.

KOOPERS TURDUCKEN BURGER

Steps:

• * Personal note:.
• I suggest that you soak your duck breast in very cold light brine for 24-48 hours to get the gamey flavor out of it. Change the brine after each day.
• Brine Recipe:.
• 4 cups water.
• 1/4 cup salt.
• 1/4 cup Brown Sugar.
• Heat water to boiling, dissolve salt and sugar into water. Let brine cool completely before submerging duck breasts in chunks. I recommend placing it into the refrigerator to get it cold.
• Patties:.
• In a bowl, add the meat, herbs and salt and pepper. Mix all together well done making 8-oz. each patty.
• Grill your Turducken patties to minimum 165 degrees and melt your Irish Porter Cheese on them. The bacon grease adds fat, we want to aim for a 80/20 mix of meat to fat, much like ground beef.
• To build the burger:.
• Brioche Bun.
• 2 Bacon Strips.
• Baby Spinach.
• Tomato.
• 2 Oz of Cranberry-Dijon Mustard Sauce.
• Turducken Patty + Cheese.
• Brioche Bun.
