Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium red onion, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds ground turkey meat (preferably dark meat, not breast meat)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed chopped parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
To serve:
Burger buns
Toppings like sliced onions, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, bacon , mayonnaise , mustard, relish, and/or ketchup

Steps:

  • Sauté the onions and garlic: Sauté the chopped onion in olive oil for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes, or until the garlic begins to brown. Remove from heat. Transfer the onions, garlic, and oil to a large bowl to cool down.
  • Make the burger mix: Once the onions are cool to the touch, add the ground turkey, salt, pepper, and herbs into the bowl. Using your hands, gently mix everything until well combined. You want the herbs mixed in without overworking the meat (which would make the burgers tough).
  • Form the meat into patties: Use your fingers to form a slight indentation in the middle of the patties. When burgers cook, the meat contracts from the edges. If the middle part is slightly thinner than the edges it will help the patties finish with a more even shape and less of a bulge in the middle.
  • Cook the burgers: Cook on a hot grill or in a hot cast iron frying pan for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until cooked through (165°F if using a meat thermometer). If using a grill , first pre-heat the grill on high for 10 minutes and coat the grates with a little vegetable oil. If using a frying pan , put a little oil in the pan first to help keep the burgers from sticking. A trick my mother uses when making burgers in a cast iron frying pan is to sprinkle the bottom of the pan with a little salt. The salt acts sort of like ball bearings, keeping the patties from sticking when you go to flip them.
  • Serve the burgers: Toast the buns and serve the burgers with the accompaniments of your choice-sliced onions, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, bacon, mayonnaise (especially good with mayo), mustard, relish, and/or ketchup.

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.

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.

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds ground dark-meat turkey
1 1/4 cups coarsely grated aged provolone cheese (about 5 ounces)
1/4 cup Roasted Garlic for Turkey Burgers
2 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for brushing
4 small ciabatta rolls, split
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing rolls
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 small bunch watercress, trimmed
3/4 cup Grilled-Tomato Sauce

Steps:

  • Using your hands, gently combine turkey, cheese, roasted garlic, sage, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl (do not overwork meat). Shape into 4 patties (about 5 inches in diameter). Refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 1 hour (or overnight).
  • Preheat grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds). Brush grill and burgers with vegetable oil. Grill, flipping once, until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toast rolls, cut sides down, on grill; brush cut sides with olive oil.
  • Whisk lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add watercress; toss.
  • Spread grilled-tomato sauce on bottom half of each roll. Top each with a burger, one-quarter of the watercress salad, and top half of roll.
