Thanksgiving Turkey Burger Recipes

THANKSGIVING TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil with carrots and onion over medium heat. Cook until reduced in size and opaque.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey with grated carrots, onion, celery seed, 1 tablespoon seasoned bread crumbs, garlic powder, black pepper and lightly beaten egg. Incorporate ingredients, but do not over mix.
• Form into 4 equal size burger patties.
• Place remaining bread crumbs onto a plate or other shallow dish. Dredge each patty to cover it in bread crumbs.
• Heat tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat in a skillet.
• Working in batches, cook 2 of the turkey burgers, about 4 on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
• Cook next batch with last 1 tablespoon olive oil. You can do them together as long as you have a large enough skillet.
• In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for herbed mayonnaise. This includes mayo, sage, thyme, rosemary and fine sea salt.
• On each roll, place a small amount of leafy greens, followed by a cooked turkey burger patty, then herbed mayo and cranberry sauce.

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.

TERRIFIC TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• Place the chives in the pitcher of a blender with the olive oil. Blend until smooth.
• In a medium bowl, add the chive puree, turkey, shallots, mustard, salt and bell peppers. Using clean hands, blend the mixture together until incorporated. Portion the turkey into 4 large burger patties and place on a tray and refrigerate.
• On a hot grill or in a hot saute pan, sear the burgers on each side and then reduce the heat or move the burgers to a cooler spot on the grill, and continue to cook for 10 to 12 minutes. To test for doneness, poke the burgers with a skewer and press down to see if the juices run clear, or a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 150 degrees F.
• Split and toast the buns, and then top each with a burger, a piece of roasted tomato, some watercress and some ranch dressing. Top each with the other half of the buns, then place a large skewer through the burgers and serve!
