LOUISIANA CAJUN TURKEY BURGERS WITH ÉTOUFFéE RELISH AND CREAMY CAJUN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the butter and olive oil together over medium-low heat.
• When the butter has completely melted, add the onion and bell peppers.
• Season with salt and the red pepper flakes.
• Cook low and slow for 35-45 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened significantly and can be easily smeared on a slice of bread or a burger. (It's the consistency that you're looking for here! We want 'em soft, but not indistinguishable.)
• When the relish is done, remove from the heat, and set aside.
• In a bowl, combine the mustard and mayonnaise.
• Taste the sauce, then add 1-2 teaspoons of the hot sauce to taste. (Do this slowly so you don't singe your tastebuds.)
• Set aside for later.
• Heat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Place the frozen Jennie-O burgers onto the preheated grill, a few inches from the heating source. Cook for 9-10 minutes on each side, turning twice, until the internal temperature of the burgers reads 165°F.
• While the burgers cook, toast the onion buns on the grill, too, just enough to have grill marks on the bread, then remove.
• Dollop some of the sauce onto the bottoms of the buns, then add a leaf of butter lettuce. Set aside for when the burgers have finished.
• Once the burgers have cooked, remove from the heat using a spatula.
• Transfer the cooked burgers on top of the prepared buns.
• Smear Étouffée Relish on top of the burgers, then top with more sauce and the top of the bun.
• Serve immediately, and enjoy!

Steps:

• Form hamburger patties as usual & make them about 3/4" larger than the bun. The burgers will shrink, so doing this will give you a "bun-fitting" hamburger patty.
• Cook hamburgers on high heat on ea side for about 1 minute. Then finish them on a med low heat till done (An internal temp of 160F is recommended by the USDA).
• When done, spray them on both sides w/a water mist & sprinkle a little salt on them. Serve immediately.
• If not serving immediately, put the patties in a pan w/only enough water to cover the bottom. Keep them covered so they don't dry out. Doing all of this will give you a slightly moister hamburger patty.
