Turkey Burger Extraordinaire Recipes

KILLER TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• For the turkey burgers: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and toss in the onion. Season with salt and bring the pan to medium heat. Cook the onion until soft and very aromatic, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, water chestnuts, soy sauce, cilantro, ginger, sambal if using and the cooked onions and garlic. (NOTE: Save the onion pan to cook the burgers in later!) Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to the mix--this will keep the burgers really moist! Use your hands to squish the mixture until everything is really well combined.
• Make, cook and eat a little tester patty to be sure the turkey is really delicious. If the seasoning isn't just right, add a little more soy or a sprinkey-dink of salt. When you're confident the burger mix is perfectly seasoned, form it into 4 equal patties.
• With a paper towel, wipe out the saute pan you used to cook the onion, coat the pan with fresh olive oil and bring it to medium-high heat. Add the burgers, being sure not to crowd the pan--if you need to work in batches, knock yourself out. Cook the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. The burgers should be browned and cooked through when done. (If working in batches, keep the first batch warm in the oven at 200 degrees F while cooking the second batch.)
• For the toppings: Mix together the mayo and sambal oelek in a small bowl. Toast the burger buns and top with the burgers. Garnish as desired with the cheese, tomato, red onion, lettuce and spicy mayo.

TURKEY BURGER EXTRAORDINAIRE!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place rack in the middle of the oven; .
• Combine the ground turkey, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon of the wine, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, chili sauce, if desired, mustard and marjoram. Use your hands to mix just until the ingredients are incorporated. (Avoid over mixing, which will toughen the burgers.).
• Shape into 4 equal-size burgers, about 1 inch thick. Season them on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a large, oven proof skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil until it simmers.
• Add the burger and sear, undisturbed, for 2 to 4 minutes, until a crust has formed on the bottom.
• Carefully turn the burgers over and sear on the second side, 2 to 4 minutes. (They will not be cooked through).
• Add the remaining wine to the pan and transfer the skillet to the oven.
• Roast for about 10 minutes, or just until the center of the burgers registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
• Check the temperature early and often to avoid overcooking. The burgers should be just firm, but not hard to the touch, when they're done.
• Serve warm, with a little of the wine from the pan, if desired.

TURKEY BURGERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the turkey, panko, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, and mix with your hands until just evenly incorporated.
• Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into 4 patties.
• Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the patties and cook, without moving, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the patties and continue cooking until the burgers are cooked through and golden brown, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), 3-4 minutes more.
• Serve the burgers on buns with ketchup, tomato, red onion, lettuce, and pickles, if desired.
• Enjoy!

GRILLED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium-high. Lightly grease a plate and set aside. Coarsely grate 1/4 cup onion; reserve the remaining onion. In a medium bowl, mix the turkey, grated onion and 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce. Form 4 patties about 4 ½ inches wide (about 5 ounces each). Press a small dimple in the center of each patty, then place the burgers on the plate and refrigerate until firm (at least 5 minutes or, covered, up to 2 days).
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce with the mayonnaise; season with 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• When ready to grill, dip the reserved onion in oil. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then grease the grates with the oiled onion. (This perfumes the grill and your patties.) Lightly coat the tops of the burgers with some of the mayo mixture (about 1/2 teaspoon per patty).
• Grill the burgers, mayo side down, until well browned and patties release from the grates, 4 to 6 minutes. (If flare-ups occur, move to an area of the grill where there are no flames underneath. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) Spread mayo mixture on the tops of the patties, then flip and grill on the second side until cooked through, another 4 to 6 minutes.
• Transfer to a plate and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Grill the cut sides of the buns until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Build burgers on the buns with the patties and desired toppings and condiments.

TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. Peel the onions and cut into 1/8" to 1/4" pieces. Peel the garlic and chop finely. Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, or until the onions start to brown. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as necessary to prevent burning. Remove from the heat, transfer to a large bowl, and let cool for 10 minutes.
• 2. To the same bowl, add the turkey, bread crumbs, barbecue sauce, oats, basil, oregano, wheat germ, salt or aminos, and pepper to taste. Mix well. Shape the mixture into 9 burgers.
• 3. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Cook the burgers over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until browned and crispy. Flip the burgers carefully and cook for 5 minutes longer, or until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165° and the meat is no longer pink. Serve the burgers hot.
