1 package ground turkey breast
2 rounded tablespoons prepared horseradish
1/3 pound sharp white Cheddar cheese, diced or crumbled into 1/4-inch pieces
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 rounded palmful grill seasoning, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning

Romaine lettuce leaves, for topping burgers
Gourmet potato chips

CHEDDAR-STUFFED TURKEY BURGER WITH AVOCADO



Cheddar-Stuffed Turkey Burger With Avocado image

The secret to keeping lean turkey juicy as a burger? Adding fat. The burgers in this recipe, stuffed with cheese and a bit of butter, are moist, flavorful and, best of all, hold together and flip easily. These are best cooked on a flat-top griddle, burger-joint style, or you can use a large, wide skillet (like cast-iron) if that's what you have. Both give the outside of these burgers an irresistible sear that keeps the juice and flavor inside the burger, not dripping through grill grates. Finally, Hawaiian buns are a must. Their softness and subtle sweetness give these burgers a universal appeal.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons butter, plus more for cooking
5 (1-ounce) slices sharp Cheddar or horseradish Cheddar
4 Hawaiian hamburger buns
1 to 2 firm-ripe avocado, thinly sliced
Mayonnaise or other burger toppings (pickles, lettuce, tomato, mustard), to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the turkey, salt, pepper and parsley in a large bowl and mix with a fork or clean hands to season evenly. Add the egg and milk and stir to combine.
  • Divide the meat into four portions with damp hands and gently pack into four round patties, about 3/4-inch thick. (It will feel very sticky because of the egg, which helps burgers hold their shape as they cook.) Place burgers on a parchment-lined baking tray or plate. Cut the butter into slices and 1 slice of the cheese into 4 thin squares, about 1 inch across. (The butter and cheese should be the same size.) Press a piece of each into the center of each burger. Shape the meat around it to cover across the top. Refrigerate for 10 minutes while you prepare the griddle.
  • Heat a flat-top griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough butter just lightly coat the griddle or pan. Add the burgers to the griddle and cook until browned and just cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the meat (not the cheese in the center) reaches 165 degrees, about 4 minutes per side. In the final 2 minutes of cooking, add the remaining 4 cheese slices to the burgers, to melt.
  • Remove the burgers from the heat and layer onto the buns with the avocado and any other burger toppings you desire. Serve warm.

Categories     Blender     Tomato     turkey     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Backyard BBQ     Lunch     Mayonnaise     Cheddar     Grill/Barbecue     Pan-Fry     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Small Plates

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For burgers
1 large shallot, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (not labeled "all breast meat")
5 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, cut into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices
4 hamburger or kaiser rolls
For sun-dried tomato mayonnaise
1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Accompaniment: lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Make burgers:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cook shallot in oil with salt and pepper in an 8-inch skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a bowl. Add turkey and mix gently but thoroughly.
  • Turn out turkey mixture onto a sheet of wax paper and divide into 8 equal mounds. Pat 1 mound into a 4-inch patty and top with 1 piece of cheese, then put a second mound on top, patting it onto other patty to enclose cheese. Pinch edges together to seal and shape into a single patty. Make 3 more burgers in same manner.
  • Heat an oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then grill burgers, turning over once, until just cooked through (no longer pink), 8 to 9 minutes total.
  • While burgers are cooking, heat rolls on a baking sheet in oven until crusty, about 5 minutes. Transfer rolls to a rack to cool slightly.
  • Make mayonnaise and assemble burgers:
  • Purée tomatoes with water, vinegar, and salt in a blender or mini food processor, scraping down sides as necessary, then blend in mayonnaise.
  • Cut rolls in half horizontally (if necessary) and spread cut sides with tomato mayonnaise. Serve burgers on rolls with lettuce.

CHEDDAR-HORSERADISH BURGERS



Cheddar-Horseradish Burgers image

Fattier (versus leaner) cuts of meat and poultry make the juiciest burgers. To maximize flavor, season the outside of burgers in addition to the meat mixture.

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

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck (80% lean)
3 to 4 tablespoons bottled white horseradish
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for grates
4 slices cheddar cheese (about 1/2 ounce each)
4 English muffins, split horizontally
Desired toppings (leaf lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced onion, sliced pickles, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish)

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, place beef, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix very gently with a fork to combine, being careful not to overwork meat (which would make burgers dense).
  • Gently form meat into 4 equal-size patties, 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. With thumb, make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation in the center of each patty (this helps keep burgers flat during grilling).
  • Moisten a folded paper towel with oil; grasp with tongs and rub over grates. Season burgers with salt and pepper. Grill 4 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare, placing cheese on second side for last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking.
  • Serve on English muffins (toasted on grill, if you like), with desired toppings.

CHEESY TURKEY BURGER

TURKEY BURGERS WITH GRUYERE

Provided by Martha Stewart

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

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey, preferably 92 to 93 percent lean
1/2 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese
4 thinly sliced scallions
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for grill
4 hamburger buns
Sliced tomatoes, red or white onion, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and lettuce leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat grill to high. In a medium bowl, use a fork to gently combine ground turkey with cheese, scallions, breadcrumbs, mustard, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Gently form mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.
  • Lightly oil grill. Place patties on the hottest part of the grill; sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move the patties to cooler part of the grill; continue grilling until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ground turkey that is at least 85% lean. This will help to keep the burgers moist and juicy.
  • Season the ground turkey well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or smoked paprika, to taste.
  • Grate the cheddar cheese fresh for the best flavor and texture. Pre-shredded cheese can be dry and crumbly.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the ingredients together. Overmixing can make the burgers tough.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Turkey burgers are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are leaner and lower in calories, but they are still packed with flavor. When made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, turkey burgers can be just as juicy and satisfying as beef burgers. So next time you're looking for a healthier burger option, give turkey burgers a try. You won't be disappointed.
