GREEK TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix sauce ingredients; refrigerate until serving.
• In medium bowl, mix all burger ingredients except buns. Shape mixture into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick and 5 inches in diameter.
• Place patties on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning after 5 minutes, until thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 165°F. Serve patties in buns with sauce.

THANKSGIVING FLAVORED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onion and celery until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Place the cooked onion and celery in a large bowl with the ground turkey, stuffing mix, and eggs; mix to thoroughly combine. Form the mixture into 16 patties. Unlike hamburger, these patties will not change shape while cooking, so make them even in size.
• Grill the turkey burgers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place each patty on a hamburger bun, and top with cranberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream cheese to serve.

TURKEY AND VEGETABLE BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes, and add the diced red pepper and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and the grated carrot and cook, stirring, for another minute or two, until the carrots have softened slightly and the mixture is fragrant. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, mash the ground turkey with a fork. Add about ¾ teaspoon kosher salt if desired, and mix in the barbecue sauce, ketchup, and freshly ground pepper to taste. Add the sautéed vegetables and mix together well. Shape into 6 patties, about ¾-inch thick. Chill for 1 hour if possible to facilitate handling.
• Heat a nonstick griddle or a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and brush with a small amount of canola oil, or prepare a medium-hot grill. When you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above it, cook the patties for 4 minutes on each side. Serve on whole grain buns, with the condiments of your choice.

MUSHROOM TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• Add the oil to a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and cook, without stirring, until the undersides are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir and let brown on the other side, about 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and add the shallots and garlic. Cook and stir until the shallots are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, then cool the mixture.
• Combine the turkey, yogurt, breadcrumbs, egg and cooled mushrooms in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix together lightly with a wooden spoon just to combine; don't overmix. Form into four 1-inch-thick patties. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the outsides of the patties with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grates with oil and grill the burgers until nicely marked, cooked through and the internal temperature reads 155 to 160 degrees F, about 6 minutes per side. Serve on the buns with additional yogurt, tomato and cucumber slices.
