ANTIPASTO-STUFFED TURKEY BURGERS
Steps:
- For the burgers: Toss together the peppers, artichokes, olives and mozzarella in a medium bowl; this will be the burger filling.
- To make the patties, shape the ground turkey into 4 rounds of equal size. Form each of those into 2 equal-size patties (for a total of 8 patties). Spoon the filling onto 4 of the patties in equal amounts. Top with the remaining 4 patties, working the meat around the edges to seal the burgers closed. (Each burger will be 4 to 5 inches in diameter.) Season on both sides with the salt and pepper.
- Grease a nonstick skillet or nonstick grill pan with cooking oil spray and heat over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the burgers and cook for 5 minutes, then turn them over and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are lightly browned and the meat is cooked through.
- For the spread: Whisk together the tomato paste, vinegar and salt in a small bowl.
- Serve the burgers and spread on butter lettuce leaves, or on whole-grain buns topped with lettuce, tomato and a few basil leaves.
CHEDDAR-STUFFED TURKEY BURGER WITH AVOCADO
The secret to keeping lean turkey juicy as a burger? Adding fat. The burgers in this recipe, stuffed with cheese and a bit of butter, are moist, flavorful and, best of all, hold together and flip easily. These are best cooked on a flat-top griddle, burger-joint style, or you can use a large, wide skillet (like cast-iron) if that's what you have. Both give the outside of these burgers an irresistible sear that keeps the juice and flavor inside the burger, not dripping through grill grates. Finally, Hawaiian buns are a must. Their softness and subtle sweetness give these burgers a universal appeal.

Steps:
- Combine the turkey, salt, pepper and parsley in a large bowl and mix with a fork or clean hands to season evenly. Add the egg and milk and stir to combine.
- Divide the meat into four portions with damp hands and gently pack into four round patties, about 3/4-inch thick. (It will feel very sticky because of the egg, which helps burgers hold their shape as they cook.) Place burgers on a parchment-lined baking tray or plate. Cut the butter into slices and 1 slice of the cheese into 4 thin squares, about 1 inch across. (The butter and cheese should be the same size.) Press a piece of each into the center of each burger. Shape the meat around it to cover across the top. Refrigerate for 10 minutes while you prepare the griddle.
- Heat a flat-top griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough butter just lightly coat the griddle or pan. Add the burgers to the griddle and cook until browned and just cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the meat (not the cheese in the center) reaches 165 degrees, about 4 minutes per side. In the final 2 minutes of cooking, add the remaining 4 cheese slices to the burgers, to melt.
- Remove the burgers from the heat and layer onto the buns with the avocado and any other burger toppings you desire. Serve warm.

TURKEY BURGERS
Turkey burgers are much leaner than hamburgers, but they can be dry and dull. Moisten them by adding ketchup and a bit of grated onion to the ground turkey - or mayonnaise and a bit of mustard. The idea is to emphasize condiments, and keep the turkey moist.

Steps:
- Grate the onion on the fine holes of a grater. You should have about two tablespoons of grated onion (and a lot of juice, which you can discard). Place in a bowl with the ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt and pepper. Using a fork, mix together well. Shape into four patties - the mixture will be quite moist - and press the patties into ½-inch thick rounds.
- Heat the canola oil in a nonstick griddle or large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. (Alternately, spray the griddle or pan with pan spray.) When you can feel the heat while holding your hand just above griddle or pan, cook the patties for five minutes on each side. Serve on buns, with the condiments of your choice.
Tips:
- To make the antipasto stuffing, you can use any combination of your favorite antipasto ingredients. Some popular options include olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, and mozzarella cheese.
- If you don't have a meat grinder, you can finely chop the turkey breast in a food processor.
- To ensure that the turkey burgers are cooked through, cook them over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the turkey burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Antipasto stuffed turkey burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and tasty meal, give these turkey burgers a try!
