Turkey Burgers With Grilled Tomatoes And Lemon Mayonnaise Recipes

JUICY TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, gently knead together turkey, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Don't overwork the meat.
• Form into patties about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Press your thumb down on the middle to give it a slight indent.
• Heat a large heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Or, heat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (400-450 degrees F). Make sure the grate is well oiled so the meat doesn't stick.
• Cook burgers for about 5 minutes per side, flipping half-way through. Ground turkey needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can remove them from the grill or pan at 160 degrees and let rest for 5 minutes, until they reach 165 degrees F, while you prepare your toppings.
• Let rest 5 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

TURKEY BURGERS WITH GRILLED TOMATOES AND LEMON MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Use your hands to mix the ground turkey, marjoram, parsley, scallions, garlic, salt, red-pepper flakes, and black pepper in a medium bowl; do not over mix or the burgers will be tough. Shape the meat into four patties, each about 3/4-inch thick, and set them on a plate. Cover with plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or for up to 8 hours.
• Thirty minutes before you're ready to grill the turkey patties, remove them from the refrigerator. Heat the grill to medium-high. Lightly brush the patties with oil, and grill over direct heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until just cooked through. (Do not overcook burgers or they will dry out.) Brush the grill with additional oil, then grill the tomato slices until they are lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side, and use a metal spatula to remove them from grill.
• Serve the burgers on the toasted muffins with the grilled tomatoes, Lemon Mayonnaise, lettuce, and sliced avocado.
• Combine the ingredients in a small bowl, cover with plastic, and refrigerate until needed.
