SPICY GRILLED TURKEY BURGERS



Spicy Grilled Turkey Burgers image

I'd never tried ground turkey meat before. I got curious when our small grocery store down the road got some in and I just had to try it. I came up with this recipe through a magazine I had that my (of all people) gastro doctor suggested. It's called EatingWell and it has healthy recipes. Some of them are frankly off the wall, but this one wasn't bad.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds bone-in skin-on turkey thighs (about 2 thighs)
1/2 cup minced onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 minced garlic cloves
2 teaspoons chopped jalapeño or serrano chile with seeds
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cut meat into 1" cubes; discard skin and bones. Place in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to freezer. Chill protein until very cold (it should feel firm but still give when pressed with your finger), about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place all grinding parts (the stand mixer's grinding attachment, including the dies, or the bowl and blade of the food processor) in the freezer until very cold, at least 15 minutes. Assemble grinder attachment with chilled coarse die. Set a bowl in a large bowl of ice; arrange beneath the attachment to catch ground turkey and keep it cold.
  • Transfer turkey to a medium bowl. Mix in onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño or serrano chile, coriander, cumin, paprika, and freshly ground black pepper. Grind mixture in batches, with mixer on medium speed, and plunge gently to press through grinder.
  • Form into four 1/2"-thick patties. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill burgers over medium heat until cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground turkey. Look for ground turkey that is at least 93% lean. This will help to keep your burgers juicy and flavorful.
  • Season the ground turkey well. Use a combination of your favorite spices and herbs to give the burgers flavor. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Don't overmix the ground turkey. Overmixing will make the burgers tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Form the burgers into patties. Use your hands to form the ground turkey mixture into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick and 4 inches in diameter.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent the burgers from drying out. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the burgers on your favorite bun. Top with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and avocado.
