Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 medium sweet potato, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick planks
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
4 frozen turkey burger patties
2 cups packed kale leaves, stemmed and torn
1/2 cup salted roasted almonds
1 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 avocado
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 whole-wheat hamburger buns
1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts
1 medium beefsteak tomato, sliced into 4 pieces

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Brush both sides of the sweet potato slices with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Grill the slices on one side of the grill pan until dark grill marks appear and the slices can be pierced easily with a knife, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Grill the turkey burgers on the other side of the grill pan according to the package directions for the grill.
  • Meanwhile, add the kale, almonds, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and the remaining 3/4 cup oil to a blender. Puree, scraping the sides as needed, until smooth.
  • Mash the avocado with a fork in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in the mayonnaise until combined.
  • Spread the kale pesto on both halves of each hamburger bun, then spread the avocado mayonnaise on top of the pesto. Top the bottom half of each bun with 1 tablespoon alfalfa sprouts and a burger patty. Top the burger patties with some sweet potato slices, a tomato slice and the top bun.

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.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons butter, plus more for cooking
5 (1-ounce) slices sharp Cheddar or horseradish Cheddar
4 Hawaiian hamburger buns
1 to 2 firm-ripe avocado, thinly sliced
Mayonnaise or other burger toppings (pickles, lettuce, tomato, mustard), to taste

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are essential for creamy, flavorful burgers. Look for avocados that are deep green or black in color and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Don't overmix the turkey: Overmixing the turkey will make the burgers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the burgers are cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the burgers immediately: Avocado burgers are best served immediately after they are cooked. The avocado will start to brown if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Avocado alfalfa turkey burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are sure to be a hit at your next cookout.
