STEAK TARTARE-FLAVORED GRILLED TURKEY BURGERS image

Yield 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 10

2¼ pounds ground turkey, no more than 93 percent lean
2 large egg yolks
¼ cup capers, chopped
3 medium shallots, finely chopped
½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Salt and pepper
Toasted English muffins, for serving

Steps:

Prepare a medium-low fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill on high. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, break up the ground turkey into rough chunks. Add the egg yolks, capers, shallots, parsley, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper, and toss lightly with your hands to distribute the seasonings (the mixture will be very moist and sticky). Divide the mixture into 6 6-ounce portions and, with a light hand, gently form the portions into patties roughly 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Press a divot (see Kitchen Aide) into the top of each patty. If using a gas grill, adjust the burners to medium-low. Grill the burgers without moving them until grill-marked on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Flip the burgers and continue grilling until the meat is cooked through (the centers of the burgers should register 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), about 7 minutes longer. Serve immediately with toasted English muffins.
