CHEDDAR-STUFFED TURKEY BURGERS

I love burgers that ooze cheese when you bite into them, but turkey burgers typically fall apart when you make them with a chunk of cheese in the center. Instead of working against the ingredients, I work with them.

Number Of Ingredients 23

For The Turkey Burgers
1 pound ground turkey
1/4 cup sharp cheddar, diced small
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil spray
1/4 cup caramelized onions
4 ciabatta rolls or whole wheat buns
4 romaine leaves, halved
1 avocado, sliced
Pickled jalapeño rings (optional)
1/4 cup Salsa Ranch Dip
For The Salsa Ranch Dip
1/2 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh dill
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups 0% Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 cup salsa

Steps:

  • Salsa Ranch Dip
  • Combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. (If you don't have a blender or food processor, just stir everything together in a bowl-the texture will be different but it will still be delicious.)
  • Burgers and Assembly
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, cheese, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Mix together with your hands until just combined-you don't want tough burgers.
  • Divide the meat mixture into four portions and roll each into a ball. Place each ball on a large plate and squish it down into a flat patty. Press your thumb into the center to create a little well. This will help the burgers keep their flat shape.Spray the grill with olive oil and heat it to medium heat. Grill the patties on direct heat for 5 minutes, covered and undisturbed. Flip once, cover, and grill for another 4 to 6 minutes, until cooked through.To assemble the burgers, smear the caramelized onions on the bottom half of each roll or bun. Top with romaine and place a cooked patty on each. Add avocado slices and jalapeño rings, if using. Smear the top halves of the buns with Salsa Ranch Dip, then place them on the burgers and serve.

Time 35m

Yield 5 burgers, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

20 ounces ground turkey breast, extra lean
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs, unseasoned
1 egg
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced (store bought)
2 -3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coursely ground
5 tablespoons fat free shredded cheddar cheese
5 teaspoons diced jalapenos (or Giuliano Jalapeno Spread)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the first 8 ingredients (turkey - pepper). If the turkey mixture is too wet, you can add in some more bread crumbs.
  • Lay out wax paper for forming the patties. Scoop mixture out by 1/4 cup then adjust if necessary so you have 10 equal sized mounds.
  • Form into 10 patties, with 5 of them being slightly larger than the others (to cover the filling).
  • On five of the patties, spread one tsp of the Giuliano Jalapeno Spread then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Top with remaining 5 patties and press the edges to seal.
  • Patties will be piled up in the middle, so press in the middle to flatten.
  • Grill until cooked through (about 12-15 minutes).

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a blend of ground turkey and ground chicken or beef. This will help to keep the burgers moist and juicy.
  • Make sure the turkey is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Be careful not to overcook the burgers, or they will become dry.
  • Use a variety of toppings to create different flavor combinations. Some popular options include cheddar cheese, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
  • Serve the burgers on a bun or in a lettuce wrap.

Conclusion:

Cheddar-stuffed turkey burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a summer cookout. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying burger that everyone will enjoy.
