ACTUALLY DELICIOUS TURKEY BURGERS



Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers image

This is a simple and delicious recipe. After making them the first time my husband said 'no more' to beef burgers. These are really good - any cooking method may be used, and they freeze very well. The recipe can also be used for meatballs or meat loaves.

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.

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.

MOIST TURKEY BURGERS



Moist Turkey Burgers image

I changed the recipe to make these delicious burgers for more people. I caramelized the onions to give it more depth of flavor. I also added Dijon mustard and real garlic instead of garlic powder. I also cut down on the amount of bread crumbs and made them out of whole wheat to make them a little healthier. I also omitted the soy sauce for the same reason. They came out great. The only thing I would do different next time is to give them just a little heat. Enjoy.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 55m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large portobello mushroom cap
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped shallot
3 tablespoons lightly packed fresh parsley
1 1/4 pounds 85% to 93% lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 thin slices manchego or white cheddar cheese
4 English muffins, split
Dijon mustard, mayonnaise and sliced avocado, for topping

Steps:

  • Use a spoon to scrape out the gills from the underside of the mushroom cap. Cut the cap into 1-inch pieces and transfer to a food processor. Add the shallot and parsley and pulse until chopped.
  • Transfer the mushroom mixture to a large bowl. Add the turkey, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; gently mix with your hands until just combined. Divide into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties. Put on a large plate, cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill to medium. Brush the grates with olive oil. Grill the patties, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Give the patties a quarter turn and cook until marked again, 4 to 5 more minutes. Flip the patties and grill until cooked through, 6 to 7 more minutes; top each with 2 slices cheese during the last 3 minutes of cooking and cover with a disposable aluminum pan to melt.
  • Toast the English muffins on the grill, then spread with mustard and mayonnaise. Serve the patties on the English muffins; top with avocado.
