This is a simple and delicious recipe. After making them the first time my husband said 'no more' to beef burgers. These are really good - any cooking method may be used, and they freeze very well. The recipe can also be used for meatballs or meat loaves.

WORLD'S BEST TURKEY BURGER



World's Best Turkey Burger image

Yes, there is a turkey burger that my red meat eating boys will eat! After several attempts of trial and error - I have come up with a flavorful, juicy burger that has made it into our regular rotation of meals. Makes 5-6 large, thick burgers. Watch closely when cooking for the first time, because the ricotta - which adds the extra moisture - can burn easily.

Categories     Poultry

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs ground turkey (I use 7% fat rather than fat free)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2/3 cup ricotta cheese

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together with hands.
  • Form into patties of desired size and thickness. If you keep them fairly thick, they will be moister.
  • Place into lightly greased, non stick skillet (I like using my cast iron skillet)on medium high. Cook without moving until bottom side is dark brown and crusted - appx 4-5 minutes.
  • Turn over, then reduce heat to medium and cook 8-10 minutes longer or until center is no longer pink and juices run clear.
  • I serve on ciabatta rolls with mayo, more Dijon, a slice of pepper jack cheese, lettuce and tomato. Yum!

Tips:

  • Choose lean ground turkey: For a healthier burger, select ground turkey with a fat content of 93% or higher.
  • Add moisture: To prevent dry burgers, incorporate ingredients like grated vegetables (such as zucchini or carrots), bread crumbs soaked in milk, or mashed avocado.
  • Enhance flavor: Season the turkey patties generously with a blend of herbs and spices. Consider using a pre-made burger seasoning mix or creating your own combination with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Don't overmix: Overmixing the turkey mixture can result in tough burgers. Gently combine the ingredients until just blended.
  • Cook to perfection: For juicy burgers, cook them over medium heat until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached. Avoid overcooking, as this will dry out the burgers.
  • Let the burgers rest: Allow the cooked burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender burger.

Conclusion:

With their lean protein content and versatility, beefy turkey burgers are a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional beef burgers. By following these tips, you can create juicy, flavorful, and satisfying turkey burgers that the whole family will enjoy. Experiment with different flavor combinations and toppings to find your perfect burger recipe.
