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!

TURKEY BURGERS



Turkey Burgers image

"I always like to offer a turkey burger at my outdoor barbecue for friends who no longer eat red meat," says Bobby. "Luckily poultry is a perfect canvas for many big flavors, and this combination of tart goat cheese, sweet Meyer lemon-honey and peppery arugula makes for one outstanding burger."

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 heaping tablespoon clover honey
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh Meyer lemon juice, from Meyer lemons, if possible
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds 90-percent lean, freshly ground turkey (not all white meat), chilled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices goat cheese, sliced 1/2-inch thick
4 sesame seed hamburger buns, split and lightly grilled
Watercress, for serving

Steps:

  • For the Meyer lemon-honey mustard: Whisk together in a small bowl the mustard, honey, orange juice, lemon zest, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  • For the burgers: Preheat the grill to high. Form the meat into four 6-ounce burgers. If you are not going to cook right away, keep the burgers cold in the refrigerator. Sprinkle the burgers on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. During the last minutes of cooking, add 2 slices of cheese to each burger, cover the grill and let the cheese soften slightly, about 1 minute. Put the burgers on the buns, drizzle with some of the Meyer lemon-honey mustard and top with a few sprigs of watercress. Serve with extra mustard on the side.

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, quick, appetizer, main course

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground turkey: Opt for ground turkey with a fat content of at least 15% to ensure juicy burgers.
  • Season the ground turkey well: Use a combination of spices, herbs, and seasonings to enhance the flavor of the turkey. Common choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Add moisture to the turkey mixture: Incorporate ingredients like eggs, bread crumbs, or grated vegetables to add moisture and prevent dry burgers.
  • Handle the turkey mixture gently: Overworking the mixture can result in tough burgers. Mix the ingredients just until combined.
  • Form the burgers into equal-sized patties: This ensures even cooking and prevents some burgers from being undercooked while others are overcooked.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over high heat can cause them to burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside. Medium heat allows the burgers to cook evenly throughout.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness: The internal temperature of the burgers should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are safe to eat.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: Allowing the burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving helps the juices redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful burgers.

Conclusion:

Turkey burgers are a delicious and versatile alternative to traditional beef burgers. By following these tips, you can create juicy, flavorful turkey burgers that are sure to be a hit at your next cookout or family meal. Experiment with different seasonings, toppings, and cooking methods to find your favorite turkey burger recipe.
