TURKEY BURGERS



Turkey Burgers image

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, quick, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 medium onion
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
3/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 hamburger buns, preferably whole wheat
1 tablespoon canola oil, or use pan spray
Sliced tomato
Sliced onion
Iceberg lettuce
Pickles
Sliced red pepper
Ketchup and mustard

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.

GRILLED TURKEY BURGERS



Grilled Turkey Burgers image

There are a couple steps to ensure a crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside and all around delicious grilled turkey burger. Grated onion and barbecue sauce give the patties savoriness and provide additional moisture, so they don't dry out from the high heat of the grill. Coating the patties in a mixture of barbecue sauce and mayonnaise guarantees a seared and glazed exterior. If you'd like to turn these into cheeseburgers, simply drape sliced cheese - preferably Cheddar or pepper Jack - over the patties in the last two minutes of grilling and cover the grill.

Categories     dinner, easy, burgers, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Neutral oil (such as canola), for greasing
1 medium yellow onion, peeled
1 pound ground turkey
1/4 cup store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
Black pepper
4 hamburger buns
Toppings (such as shredded iceberg, sliced onion, tomato and pickles) and condiments (mayonnaise, barbecue sauce or mustard), as desired

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to medium-high. Lightly grease a plate and set aside. Coarsely grate 1/4 cup onion; reserve the remaining onion. In a medium bowl, mix the turkey, grated onion and 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce. Form 4 patties about 4 ½ inches wide (about 5 ounces each). Press a small dimple in the center of each patty, then place the burgers on the plate and refrigerate until firm (at least 5 minutes or, covered, up to 2 days).
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce with the mayonnaise; season with 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
  • When ready to grill, dip the reserved onion in oil. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then grease the grates with the oiled onion. (This perfumes the grill and your patties.) Lightly coat the tops of the burgers with some of the mayo mixture (about 1/2 teaspoon per patty).
  • Grill the burgers, mayo side down, until well browned and patties release from the grates, 4 to 6 minutes. (If flare-ups occur, move to an area of the grill where there are no flames underneath. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) Spread mayo mixture on the tops of the patties, then flip and grill on the second side until cooked through, another 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Transfer to a plate and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Grill the cut sides of the buns until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Build burgers on the buns with the patties and desired toppings and condiments.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground turkey for the best flavor and texture.
  • Season the turkey burgers generously with your favorite seasonings. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Cook the turkey burgers over medium heat to prevent them from drying out. If you are cooking them on a grill, cook them over indirect heat.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the turkey burgers are cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the turkey burgers on your favorite bun with your favorite toppings. Some good options include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and bacon. You can also serve them with a side of fries, coleslaw, or potato salad.

Conclusion:

Bayou turkey burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make, can be tailored to your own taste preferences, and are a great way to use up leftover turkey.
