Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ pounds 93% lean ground turkey
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/3 cup Kalamata olives (finely chopped)
3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 cup finely chopped and packed fresh spinach
Pinch each of sea salt and black pepper
Olive oil spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 420°F.
  • Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix together thoroughly.
  • Scoop out a large fistful of meat, roll it into a ball, then flatten it to form a patty around 1 ½ inches thick. Repeat with the remaining meat to make 5 large patties of equal size.
  • Once the patties are formed, use your thumb to make a shallow indentation in the middle of each patty to prevent them from forming a dome as they cook.
  • Set a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray lightly with olive oil. When the skillet is hot, add the patties.
  • Cook on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, until the edges are brown and seared, then flip the patties over.
  • Cook for an additional minute, then place the entire skillet in the oven to cook until the internal temperature is 165°F, 9 to 11 minutes.
  • You can also bake them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy these as a burger with a toasted whole wheat bun, butter lettuce, cucumber slices, thin red onion slices (optional), sliced tomato, and a little Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Or pair a patty with salad, rice, quinoa, or even roasted vegetables!

Turkey, courgetti & feta burgers image

Turkey mince, spiralized courgette, feta and mint give these burgers a healthier profile. Serve with a peppery rocket and sweet cherry tomato salad

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

500g lean turkey mince
100g feta , crumbled
1 large courgette (about 200g), ends trimmed, halved widthways and spiralized into thin noodles
2 garlic cloves , crushed
½ small pack mint , leaves picked and chopped
½ tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp sumac
zest and juice of 1 lemon (save the juice for the salad)
1 large egg , beaten
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
110g bag of rocket salad
250g pack cherry tomatoes , halved

Steps:

  • Mix all of the ingredients for the turkey burgers, bar the olive oil, together in a large bowl. Season with a generous amount of black pepper and a little salt (you won't need a lot because of the feta). Shape into 4 burgers, the mixture will be quite sticky so cover and chill in the fridge for 15 mins or until needed to firm up a little. At this point the burgers can also be frozen.
  • Preheat the grill to its highest setting then brush the burgers on both sides with the olive oil. Transfer the burgers to a non-stick baking tray and cook for 8-10 mins on each side, until cooked through and golden brown.
  • While the burgers are cooking, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice and some seasoning. Add the rocket and tomatoes to a large salad bowl, add half the dressing and toss well to combine. Serve alongside the turkey burgers and with the extra dressing on the side.

TURKEY-ZUCCHINI BURGERS



Turkey-Zucchini Burgers image

Consider this your dependable, blank-slate turkey burger that will always be juicy and well-seared no matter how you embellish it. Add ground spices, such as cumin or garlic powder; chopped herbs; or Worcestershire sauce or anchovies for umami - or leave the patty alone. With just a swipe of ketchup or mustard, it'll hold its own. Grated zucchini keeps the burgers moist, mayonnaise helps bind and brown them, and salting only on the outside ensures that the meat stays tender. (For a cheeseburger, drape sliced cheese on the patties before the last 2 minutes of cooking and cover the pan.)

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Neutral oil (such as grapeseed), for greasing
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup coarsely grated unpeeled zucchini (from 1 small zucchini)
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
Hamburger buns, toasted
Toppings and condiments, as desired

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a plate with neutral oil and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together the turkey, zucchini and mayonnaise. Form 4 patties, each about 4 1/2 inches wide (about 5 ounces). Press a small dimple in the center of each patty, then place the burgers on the plate and refrigerate to firm up for at least 5 minutes (or keep them covered for up to 2 days).
  • Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add about 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet to lightly coat. Generously season the tops of the patties with salt and pepper. Add the patties, seasoned-side down, to the skillet and cook until seared and dark brown, 3 to 5 minutes. (Don't press down; that'll release juices.) Season the tops generously with salt and pepper, then flip and cook until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes, turning the heat down as necessary to avoid scorching.
  • Transfer to a clean plate and let rest for at least 5 minutes before building into a burger on the buns with desired toppings and condiments.
