CHEDDAR-STUFFED TURKEY BURGERS

I love burgers that ooze cheese when you bite into them, but turkey burgers typically fall apart when you make them with a chunk of cheese in the center. Instead of working against the ingredients, I work with them.

For The Turkey Burgers
1 pound ground turkey
1/4 cup sharp cheddar, diced small
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil spray
1/4 cup caramelized onions
4 ciabatta rolls or whole wheat buns
4 romaine leaves, halved
1 avocado, sliced
Pickled jalapeño rings (optional)
1/4 cup Salsa Ranch Dip
For The Salsa Ranch Dip
1/2 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh dill
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups 0% Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 cup salsa

Steps:

  • Salsa Ranch Dip
  • Combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. (If you don't have a blender or food processor, just stir everything together in a bowl-the texture will be different but it will still be delicious.)
  • Burgers and Assembly
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, cheese, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Mix together with your hands until just combined-you don't want tough burgers.
  • Divide the meat mixture into four portions and roll each into a ball. Place each ball on a large plate and squish it down into a flat patty. Press your thumb into the center to create a little well. This will help the burgers keep their flat shape.Spray the grill with olive oil and heat it to medium heat. Grill the patties on direct heat for 5 minutes, covered and undisturbed. Flip once, cover, and grill for another 4 to 6 minutes, until cooked through.To assemble the burgers, smear the caramelized onions on the bottom half of each roll or bun. Top with romaine and place a cooked patty on each. Add avocado slices and jalapeño rings, if using. Smear the top halves of the buns with Salsa Ranch Dip, then place them on the burgers and serve.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ground turkey and cheddar cheese.
  • To ensure the turkey burgers are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the turkey burgers over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • If you want to make the burgers ahead of time, you can form them and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking.
  • To add a smoky flavor to the burgers, cook them on a grill or in a grill pan.
  • Serve the turkey burgers on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.
