Yield 4 servings

1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

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 STUFFED WITH SALSA AND MOZZARELLA



Turkey Burgers Stuffed With Salsa and Mozzarella image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, burgers, main course

Time 35m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium-large, ripe, locally grown tomato to yield 6 ounces finely chopped, plus 3 medium-large ripe tomatoes
1 small red onion to yield 1 tablespoon chopped
1 small clove garlic
An eighth to a quarter of a jalapeno pepper
A few sprigs of fresh cilantro to yield 2 tablespoons chopped
A few sprigs of parsley to yield 1 tablespoon chopped
1 small ball of smoked or fresh mozzarella to yield 1/2 cup coarsely shredded
2 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 pound ground white-meat turkey
A few shakes of salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Hard, round rolls, optional

Steps:

  • Wash, trim and finely chop one of the tomatoes, as if making salsa. Finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
  • Wash, trim, seed and mince the jalapeno. Wash and finely chop the cilantro and parsley. Shred the mozzarella. Combine all these ingredients with the oil, ground turkey, salt and pepper, and shape into 6 patties.
  • Heat a nonstick pan until it is medium-hot, and saute the patties until they are browned on both sides and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Slice the rolls, and put the turkey burgers on them, if desired.
  • Wash, trim and thickly slice the tomatoes; serve with the burgers.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ground Turkey: Select lean ground turkey with a fat content of 93% or higher. This ensures juicy and flavorful burgers without excessive grease.
  • Use Fresh Salsa: Opt for homemade or high-quality store-bought fresh salsa for a vibrant and flavorful filling. Avoid jarred salsa, which tends to be bland and lacks texture.
  • Season the Turkey Mixture Well: Don't be afraid to season the ground turkey generously with your favorite herbs and spices. This adds depth of flavor to the burgers and complements the salsa and mozzarella filling.
  • Use a Large Cookie Scoop: Portion out the ground turkey mixture using a large cookie scoop. This ensures uniform burger patties and helps maintain a consistent cooking time.
  • Stuff the Burgers Carefully: Place the salsa and mozzarella filling in the center of each burger patty and seal the edges securely. Be careful not to overstuff the burgers, as this can cause them to break apart during cooking.
  • Cook the Burgers Over Medium Heat: Cook the burgers over medium heat to prevent them from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside. This also allows the cheese to melt evenly.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Ensure the burgers are cooked thoroughly by using a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the burger and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the Burgers Rest: After cooking, let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more tender and flavorful burger.

Conclusion:

These Turkey Burgers Stuffed with Salsa and Mozzarella offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures, making them a perfect choice for a flavorful and satisfying meal. The juicy turkey burgers, vibrant salsa, and melted mozzarella cheese come together to create a harmonious culinary experience. Experiment with different salsa variations, cheeses, and toppings to suit your preferences. Whether you enjoy them on their own, with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, or nestled in a soft bun, these stuffed turkey burgers are sure to become a family favorite. Enjoy the deliciousness of these juicy, flavorful burgers that are perfect for any occasion!
