Cranberry Jalapeno Turkey Burgers or Meatballs image

I usually grill these burgers but you can broil or panfry. I have also made this into meatballs and used as appetizers. I used Kittencal's Cranberry-Ginger Garlic Meatball Sauce for the sauce on these.But you can use whatever sauce you like. They were a big hit. Kind of a sweet/hot flavor.

Categories main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 cups canned sliced jalapenos (with the juice)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 brioche buns
6 leaves green leaf lettuce
6 slices beefsteak tomato
6 slices red onion
12 slices Hass avocado

Steps:

For the jalapeno jam: In a small saucepot, combine the jalapenos, sugar and marmalade and bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer until the liquid reduces to a glaze, about 1 hour.
For the turkey burgers: In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt and pepper and mix well. Form the mixture into 6 patties.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add 3 of the patties to the pan and cook until the first sides are seared, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the burgers are cooked completely through, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon grapeseed oil and the other 3 burgers.
Butter each of the buns on both sides and toast them in the hot skillet until golden brown.
Dress each of the bottom halves of the buns with lettuce, tomato, red onion and avocado. Place a burger on top of each dressed bun and top with 2 tablespoons of the jalapeno jam. Finish with a bun top.

Tips:

Choose lean ground turkey: Look for ground turkey with a fat content of 93% or higher to ensure juicy burgers.
Don't overmix the turkey: Overmixing can make the burgers tough, so mix the ingredients just until combined.
Form the burgers gently: Use your hands to form the burgers loosely, avoiding packing them too tightly.
Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help prevent them from drying out.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Leave some space between the burgers so they can cook evenly.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Let the burgers rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in juicier burgers.
