TURKEY MEATLOAF BURGERS



Turkey Meatloaf Burgers image

A meatloaf style turkey burger that's moist and flavorful. My kids love these burgers and don't realize it's a lighter alternative to beef burger. My kids just slap on some mayo and head to town. Great served with lettuce, tomato, and your choice of condiments, with a side of chips or raw crispy veggies.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Ground Turkey Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds ground turkey
1 ⅓ cups seasoned bread crumbs
1 small onion - grated, and juice drained
2 eggs
3 tablespoons applesauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Mix the turkey, bread crumbs, onion, eggs, applesauce, chili powder, paprika, and kosher salt in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions, then shape into patties.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the patties in the skillet and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Place the browned patties on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Transfer the patties to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bake the turkey burgers in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve the turkey burgers on the hamburger buns.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes     Ground Turkey Recipes

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 jars (12 ounces each) red-pepper relish, such as Fourth Creek
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 pounds ground dark turkey
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 slice soft white bread, torn into pea-size pieces (1 cup)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons Heinz Chili Sauce, plus more for brushing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cups packed finely shredded kale
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
8 potato rolls, split
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Drain 1 jar relish in a sieve; discard liquid. Pulse 2/3 cup drained relish with onion and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high; add relish mixture. Cook, stirring, until a thick paste forms, about 7 minutes. Stir in soy sauce. Transfer to a bowl; let cool 5 minutes. Stir in turkey, Worcestershire, mustard, bread, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste. Form into 8 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
  • Preheat grill to medium. Brush both sides of burgers with oil, then brush grates. Grill 5 minutes. Flip; lightly brush tops with chili sauce and grill until a thermometer inserted into centers registers 165 degrees, 5 to 6 minutes more.
  • Combine chili sauce and mayonnaise. Drizzle kale with vinegar and remaining 1 teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Brush split sides of rolls with butter; grill until lightly toasted. Sandwich burgers in rolls with chili-sauce mixture, remaining relish, and kale.

FIESTA TURKEY TAVERN



Fiesta Turkey Tavern image

This is a southern tavern with just a bit of a mild kick. You can add more heat by doubling the chili powder and cayenne pepper and adding a few of the seeds from the jalapeno. You can use beef, too! You can serve these on burger buns, in tortillas or in pitas garnished with with some shredded cheddar, pickled jalapeno slices and chipotle mayo. (If you have a more classic taste, American cheese, pickles and ketchup still tastes good as well!)

Time 50m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ¼ pounds ground turkey
1 cup finely chopped white onion
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ tablespoons prepared yellow mustard, divided
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon chili powder
1 cup water
¼ cup finely chopped jalapeno
5 hamburger buns

Steps:
