THE BEST TURKEY BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Place turkey into a large bowl with egg, salt, pepper, parsley, poultry seasoning and milk. Stir to combine. {Mixture may seem a little wet, but once it starts cooking, the egg will help hold it's shape together.}

Feel free to melt cheese on top of each burger. {Place cheese onto cooked side of the burger and cover with a large pot lid or foil for 1 minute to melt cheese.}

JUICY TURKEY BURGERS WITH ONION JAM

Steps:

• Prepare the onion jam: Heat a large saute pan. Toss in the onion slices with the oil and a generous pinch of salt. Add the sugar and cook over medium heat until the onions are caramelized and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and if a splash of juice from the cornichon jar, if using, and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• For the burgers: Break up the meat in a medium bowl, spreading it up the sides of the bowl so that the seasoning really permeates the meat. Sprinkle with the Worcestershire and salt. Mix with your hands, but do not overmix. (The more you work the meat, the tougher the burger.) Gingerly form the meat into four round 1-inch-thick patties. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, arrange the patties in a single layer at a distance from one another. Let cook, undisturbed, until the bottoms brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the patties and let the bottoms brown again, 3 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the stock to the skillet and cover. Simmer until the patties are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the lid, shut off the heat under the skillet and place a slice of cheese on each patty. Let the patties rest with the heat off until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Transfers the patties to a plate or cutting board and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Reduce the remaining liquid in the skillet by half, about 5 minutes, and serve it on the side of the burgers. People can spoon this liquid over the burgers instead of or in addition to ketchup. You can also just add this reduced liquid to the onion jam to enrich the flavor.
• Assemble the burgers: Arrange the bun bottoms on a work surface. Spoon some of the onion jam on each and top with one of the patties. Top with more jam and a few slices of cornichon. Top with the bun tops.

TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F to keep the first batch of burgers warm.
• 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 until they are soft and very aromatic, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, soy sauce, sambal oelek, ginger, water chestnuts, cilantro and the cooked onions and garlic. (Reserve the onion pan to cook the burgers in later.) Add one-quarter to one-half cup water; this will help the burgers stay nice and moist. Using your hands, squish everything together until they are 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, form the mix into 4 equal size patties.
• Coat the saute pan with new olive oil and bring to a 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. Place the cheese, if using, on the burger and cook for 1 more minute.
• Toast the buns in a broiler or toaster. 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 tomato, onion and lettuce. Close up each burger, give each one a little squish and eat em' up!
