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.

KILLER TURKEY BURGERS



Killer Turkey Burgers image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Extra-virgin olive oil, for coating the pan
1 onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
One 8-ounce can water chestnuts, coarsely chopped (not too fine--they add GREAT texture)
1/4 cup soy sauce, plus more if needed
1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro, leaves finely chopped
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons sambal oelek or Asian chili paste, optional (but recommended)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sambal oelek
4 burger buns (I like the seeded ones)
4 slices American of Cheddar cheese (American melts better)
4 slices beefsteak tomatoes
4 slices red onion
4 leaves butter lettuce

Steps:

  • For the turkey burgers: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and toss in the onion. Season with salt and bring the pan to medium heat. Cook the onion until soft and very aromatic, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, water chestnuts, soy sauce, cilantro, ginger, sambal if using and the cooked onions and garlic. (NOTE: Save the onion pan to cook the burgers in later!) Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to the mix--this will keep the burgers really moist! Use your hands to squish the mixture until everything is really well combined.
  • Make, cook and eat a little tester patty to be sure the turkey is really delicious. If the seasoning isn't just right, add a little more soy or a sprinkey-dink of salt. When you're confident the burger mix is perfectly seasoned, form it into 4 equal patties.
  • With a paper towel, wipe out the saute pan you used to cook the onion, coat the pan with fresh olive oil and bring it to medium-high heat. Add the burgers, being sure not to crowd the pan--if you need to work in batches, knock yourself out. Cook the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. The burgers should be browned and cooked through when done. (If working in batches, keep the first batch warm in the oven at 200 degrees F while cooking the second batch.)
  • For the toppings: Mix together the mayo and sambal oelek in a small bowl. Toast the burger buns and top with the burgers. Garnish as desired with the cheese, tomato, red onion, lettuce and spicy mayo.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup roughly chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds free-range ground turkey meat
1/4 cup finely diced shallots
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
4 brioche burger buns
4 homemade or store-bought roasted tomato halves
1 bunch watercress, cleaned and stemmed
1/2 cup homemade or store-bought ranch dressing

Steps:

  • Place the chives in the pitcher of a blender with the olive oil. Blend until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, add the chive puree, turkey, shallots, mustard, salt and bell peppers. Using clean hands, blend the mixture together until incorporated. Portion the turkey into 4 large burger patties and place on a tray and refrigerate.
  • On a hot grill or in a hot saute pan, sear the burgers on each side and then reduce the heat or move the burgers to a cooler spot on the grill, and continue to cook for 10 to 12 minutes. To test for doneness, poke the burgers with a skewer and press down to see if the juices run clear, or a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 150 degrees F.
  • Split and toast the buns, and then top each with a burger, a piece of roasted tomato, some watercress and some ranch dressing. Top each with the other half of the buns, then place a large skewer through the burgers and serve!

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!
