TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle with some salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Whisk the garlic with the balsamic, Worcestershire, and hot sauce in a small bowl.
• Crumble the turkey and beef into a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic mixture over the meat and form into 4 (5-ounce) burgers. Cover and set aside while you cook the onions.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Season the onions with the remaining teaspoon of balsamic and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for a minute. Brush 1 side of the burgers with the oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook seasoned side down until browned, about 2 minutes. Brush and season the top of the burgers, flip and cook until other side is brown, about 2 minutes more.
• Transfer burgers to a baking dish and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the burgers registers 160 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Place the burgers on the buns or in pita and let rest for a few minutes. Serve with the caramelized onions and garnishes of your choice.

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!

WORLD'S BEST TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together with hands.
• Form into patties of desired size and thickness. If you keep them fairly thick, they will be moister.

• Turn over, then reduce heat to medium and cook 8-10 minutes longer or until center is no longer pink and juices run clear.
• I serve on ciabatta rolls with mayo, more Dijon, a slice of pepper jack cheese, lettuce and tomato. Yum!

Grill, flipping once, until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toast rolls, cut sides down, on grill; brush cut sides with olive oil.
