Best 10 Kittencals Moist Turkey Burgers For The Grill Low Fat Recipes

BEST-EVER GRILLED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• or large plate with parchment paper, wax paper, or aluminum foil. Set aside.
• Arrange a few paper towels out on a cutting board, set a box mixer on top. Run the onion along the sides of the box mixer to grate it into fine, shredded pieces. Once grated, use the paper towel to soak up excess moisture from the onion. Too much moisture will make the turkey burger mixture very difficult to handle, so do not skip the extra 30 seconds it takes to blot the moisture from the grated onion. If your onion seems very wet, you can also wrap it in paper towels & wring out the moisture over the sink.
• Add the ground turkey, grated onion, garlic, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt & ground black pepper to a large bowl. Using your hands, mix until just combined. Overworking the turkey burger mixture will lead to tough burgers; take care not to overmix.
• Divide the turkey burger mixture into 4 even portions, about 1/3 pound (5.3 ounces) each. Lightly coat your hands in oil (or mist with nonstick cooking spray) & form each portion into a 1-inch thick patty. The mixture will be very wet at this point, so there's no need to fuss over making your burgers look perfect - just aim for forming them into the general shape & size you're after. Set them on the prepared baking sheet.
• the turkey burgers: Transfer the baking sheet with the turkey burger patties to the freezer. Chill for at least 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, as the turkey burgers chill, preheat the grill for medium-high direct heat grilling, about 450 degrees F. Just before placing the burgers on the grill, generously oil a wad of paper towel. Use grilling tongs to run the oiled paper towel over the grill grates, generously oiling the grates.
• Remove the turkey burgers from the freezer. At this point they should be quite a bit easier to handle; finish forming them into 1-inch thick patties, using your thumb to create an indent in the center of each patty. Firmly press each turkey burger patty down onto the prepared grill grates. Grill the turkey burgers for 6 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted in the center of the turkey burgers registers 160 degrees F. If you'd like to add cheese to your turkey burgers, do so when there are 2 minutes left of grilling time.
• Allow the turkey burgers to rest for a few minutes (residual heat will increase the internal temperature to 165 degrees F) before serving as desired. Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, gently knead together turkey, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Don't overwork the meat.
• Form into patties about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Press your thumb down on the middle to give it a slight indent.
• Heat a large heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Or, heat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (400-450 degrees F). Make sure the grate is well oiled so the meat doesn't stick.
• Cook burgers for about 5 minutes per side, flipping half-way through. Ground turkey needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can remove them from the grill or pan at 160 degrees and let rest for 5 minutes, until they reach 165 degrees F, while you prepare your toppings.
• Let rest 5 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

GRILLED TURKEY BURGERS

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.

MOIST TURKEY BURGERS

Break the turkey into small pieces into the bowl; mix with the bread crumb mixture until evenly combined. Shape the turkey mixture into 12 patties; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 20 minutes.
• Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat.
• Cook the patties in the hot skillet until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

• Divide the ground beef into 6 equal patties (or make 8 small patties).
• Using your large finger or the back of a small spoon make a shallow dent into the center of each patty (about 1-inch wide).
• Place the patties onto a large plate or a small cookie sheet; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or up to 24 hours to blend flavors.
• Grill or pan fry the burgers as desired until cooked through (if desired sprinkle a small amount of seasoned salt on top while cooking the patties).
• Serve burgers in toasted buns with choice of condiments.

• Remove the giblets and neck from the cavity.
• Rinse the turkey well with cold water inside and out then pat dry with a paper towel.

• In a small bowl mix together the melted butter with oil (I also like to add in 1 teaspoon garlic powder with the oil/butter mixture if you are a garlic-lover then use it).
• Fill the inside cavity loosley with prepared stuffing (if you are not using stuffing then tie the legs together with cotton butchers twine).
• Using clean hands rub the outside of the turkey with the oil/butter/garlic mixture.
• Season the turkey all over with salt and lots fresh ground black pepper.
• If you are NOT stuffing the bird place breast-side down on the rack, if stuffing leave breast-side up.
• Place/tent a large piece of heavy foil over the turkey.
• Place the pan in the oven, then pour about 4-5 cups chicken broth in the pan.
• Keep basting the turkey about every 30-40 minutes with the pan juices on the bottom of the pan (removing the foil and re-tenting every time you baste).
• If you see the juices starting to evaporate then add in more broth to the pan about 2 cups at a time.
• After about 2-1/2 hours of cooking time remove the foil.
• Keep roasting (325 degrees F) until the internal thermometer reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
• The total cooking time for this 18-pound stuffed bird should be about 4 hours.
• Transfer the cooked turkey to a large serving platter, cover loosley with foil and let rest 30 minutes before carving (DO NOT slice the turkey before 30 minutes or all juices will flow out of the bird!).
