CHEDDAR-STUFFED TURKEY BURGERS



Cheddar-Stuffed Turkey Burgers image

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.

Provided by Audrey Johns

Categories     HarperCollins     turkey     Cheese     Cheddar     Summer     Dinner     Grill

Yield 4 servings

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.

BUFFALO SAUCE BURGERS STUFFED WITH BLUE CHEESE



Buffalo Sauce Burgers Stuffed With Blue Cheese image

Buffalo sauce, a mixture of melted butter and hot sauce, is a big claim to food fame for Buffalo, New York. It is normally served on fried chicken wings (Buffalo wings), but this burger is a great variation of the theme. The recipe is adapted from one published in my local newspaper and credited to David Joachim, author of The Tailgater's Cookbook. It was included in a feature on tailgating, and the idea was to get these ready to grill at home, then grill them at your tailgating affair. The original recipe called for either ground buffalo or ground beef. Since ground buffalo is not available where I live, I used ground beef. I forgot to notice how long prep took, so the time given is a guess. I served these on PaulaG's Recipe #139827--they are excellent and I highly recommend them.

Provided by GaylaJ

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons butter, cut in small pieces
1/3 cup mild hot sauce (they mentioned Durkee, I used Frank's RedHot)
1/2 cup finely crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon minced garlic (you may want to use less if you're not a big fan of garlic)
2 lbs 85% lean ground beef or 2 lbs ground buffalo meat
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
6 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Melt butter and whisk in hot sauce.
  • Mix blue cheese and garlic in a small bowl.
  • Using your hands, gently mix beef (or buffalo), celery seed, onion and 1/4 cup hot sauce mixture in a medium bowl until blended. Form into 12 patties, using a light touch; the patties should be about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and no more than 1/2 inch thick.
  • Spoon about 2 teaspoons of cheese-garlic mixture in center of 6 patties, then top with remaining patties and press together, sealing edges.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill. (Even if you aren't making these ahead of time, I think they hold together better after a little chill time).
  • Heat grill to medium and oil grate.
  • Grill burgers about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to taste. (I'll only eat ground beef cooked well, so I cooked a bit longer.) Brush with remaining hot sauce mixture during last 2 minutes of cooking. Toast buns if you like.
  • (I couldn't think of many traditional condiments I wanted on this burger, so I just ate mine with extra buffalo sauce and lettuce).

GRILLED CHEESE-STUFFED BURGERS



Grilled Cheese-Stuffed Burgers image

These individually wrapped burgers are great to take along to picnics, cookouts or camping trips. The cheese is already stuffed inside, so all you need are your buns and condiments.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
4 ounces Cheddar, cut into 16 small cubes
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 seeded hamburger buns, split and toasted
4 small leaves romaine lettuce
4 slices sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Maui
1 small vine-ripened tomato, sliced into 4 rounds
Potato chips or French fries, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat a grill over high heat. Divide the meat into four 6-ounce balls. Press 4 small cubes of cheese into the center of each ball and flatten into a 1/2-inch-thick patty about 4 inches in diameter, making sure the cheese stays wrapped in the meat. Sprinkle both sides of the patties evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Wrap each burger in a piece of nonstick aluminum foil, twisting any excess foil at each end so the burger is wrapped in a single layer of foil only. Mix the ketchup and Worcestershire together in a small bowl.
  • 2. Grill the burgers for 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and carefully open up the foil packets, allowing the steam to escape. Place the opened foil packets back on the grill, add a spoonful of sauce to the top of each patty and continue to cook until the patty is cooked to at least medium to allow the cheese inside to fully melt, another 4 to 6 minutes.
  • 3. On the bottom half of each bun, spread a bit of sauce and top with a lettuce leaf, onion slice and tomato slice. Top with a patty, another spoon of the remaining sauce and the top of the bun. Serve with chips or fries.

Goat Cheese-Stuffed Lamb Burgers with Caramelized Red Onions image

Lamb burgers are a great way to switch up burger night at home. Change is good, y'all! Lamb has more of an earthy, gamey flavor than beef, and it's completely delicious paired with creamy goat cheese and deeply caramelized onions. If your burger night needs a little relief from the same old same old, give these a go.

Provided by Dennis Prescott

Categories     HarperCollins     Hamburger     Lamb     Goat Cheese     Cheese     Dinner     Onion     Beer     Bacon     Arugula

Yield Makes 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 19

Caramelized onions:
1 tablespoon butter
1 large red onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup dark beer
Lamb burgers:
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1/3 cup goat cheese
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 burger buns
4 tablespoons Spicy Herb Mayo
4 slices cooked bacon
1 cup baby arugula

Steps:

  • Make the onions:
  • In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and salt, toss to combine, and cover. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring several times to ensure that the onion does not stick to the pan. Add the beer, stir, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. If the onion is deeply caramelized and the liquid has mostly evaporated, it's perfection. If not, cook for a few minutes more. Set aside.
  • Make the burgers:
  • In a large bowl, combine the lamb, garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne, and mint. Mix well. Set aside 4 tablespoons of the lamb mixture and divide the remaining lamb into four equal portions. Shape them into patties slightly larger than the width of the burger bun. Using your thumb, make a well in the center of each patty, going halfway through the lamb.
  • Divide the goat cheese into four portions and place them in the thumb divots. Flatten each tablespoon of reserved burger mixture into a disc and place on top of the goat cheese. Pinch the edges to encase the cheese in the lamb. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Fry the burgers for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium doneness.
  • Place the burgers on the buns and top each with 1 tablespoon mayo, some caramelized onions, bacon, and 1/4 cup arugula.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Meat: Select a quality ground beef with a fat content of around 15-20% for juicy burgers. You can also use a combination of ground beef and pork or ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • Season Wisely: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and spices to enhance the flavor of your burgers. Common choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Proper Mixing: Mix the ground meat gently by hand to avoid overworking it, which can result in tough burgers. Use a light touch and mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Forming the Burgers: Form the seasoned meat mixture into evenly sized patties, slightly larger than the size of your bun. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
  • Stuffed Delights: For stuffed burgers, create a well in the center of each patty and fill it with your favorite fillings, such as cheese, cooked bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or crumbled blue cheese. Seal the filling by pressing the edges of the patty together.
  • Cooking Perfection: Cook the burgers over medium heat to ensure even cooking throughout. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, aiming for 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare, 165°F (74°C) for medium, and 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
  • Rest Before Serving: Allow the cooked burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy burger.
