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.

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.

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!

TASTES-LIKE-BEEF TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together ground turkey, onion soup mix and steak sauce. Shape into 4 patties.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and lightly coat with cooking spray. Cook burgers 4 minutes on each side. Serve on hamburger buns.

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!
