Kid-Friendly Mediterranean Turkey Burgers image

This lovely recipe comes from the June 2007 issue of Family Fun magazine! I find plain turkey burgers to be very blah. These sound delicious. Haven't tried them yet, but will edit this recipe once I do.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1 medium bosc pear, peel, cored and coarsely grated (firm)
1 egg, beaten (or 1/4 cup egg substitute)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese style bread crumbs)
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 garlic cloves, very finely minced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh sage, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Mix together the turkey, pear, egg, panko, parsley, garlic, sage, rosemary, and allspice in a large bowl until well combined.
  • Add the salt and pepper or more to taste. (to test the flavor, cook a tsp or two of the meat mixture in the microwave or small skillet).
  • Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into patties, gently pressing the center of each to create a slight indentation. This will prevent the patty from bulging in the center, so that you end up with a flat, evenly cooked burger.
  • Refrigerate the patties until the grill is ready.
  • Prepare a charcoal fire or a gas grill to medium-hot.
  • Wipe the rack with canola oil and lay the burgers on it indentation side up.
  • Let them cook, without pressing down on them, until the bottoms are well seared, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Flip the burgers and continue grilling until they are completely cooked through (the juices will run clear) another 5 to 7 minutes.
