Sweet & Spicy Thai Turkey Burgers with Pickles, Roasted Bell Pepper, Potato Wedges & Chili Aioli image

Our chefs believe creating the perfect patty is like writing a hit song: Pack it with the right ingredients and it sings. Tonight's patties open with ground turkey, then build to a stunning chorus of ginger and shallot. The crescendo comes with a flawless sear-crispy meat on the outside, juicy on the inside. And if you're looking for that key change, we've got the sauce for you. Here, we top these turkey burgers with homemade quick pickles, roasted bell pepper, and drizzle of chili aioli. Plus, no burger would be complete without a side of potato wedges to dip into any extra aioli. Now that's a Top 40 burger.

Categories     main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

10 ounce Ground Turkey
1 thumb Ginger
1 unit Shallot
2 unit Brioche Buns
1 ounce Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
1 unit Bell Pepper
12 ounce Yukon Gold Potatoes
1 tablespoon Fry Seasoning
4 tablespoon Mayonnaise
5 teaspoon White Wine Vinegar
1 unit Persian Cucumber
4 teaspoon Cooking Oil
1 teaspoon Sugar
Kosher Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Halve bell pepper; remove stem and seeds. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, peel, and finely chop shallot. Peel and mince or grate ginger. Trim and thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Halve buns.
  • • Toss bell pepper on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper; arrange cut sides down. • Toss potatoes on empty side with a drizzle of oil, Fry Seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, divide between 2 sheets; roast potatoes on top rack and bell peppers on middle rack.) • Roast on top rack, tossing potatoes halfway through, until bell pepper is softened and lightly charred and potatoes are golden brown and crispy, 23-25 minutes.
  • • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chili sauce, and 1 tsp shallot. Season with salt and pepper. • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine cucumber, vinegar, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Microwave for 60 seconds. (Taste and add a pinch more sugar if you like a sweeter pickle.) Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.
  • • In a large bowl, combine turkey*, ginger, and 2 TBSP remaining shallot (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt (we used ½ tsp) and pepper. Form into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun.
  • • Once veggies have roasted 10 minutes, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add patties; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-8 minutes per side. • Meanwhile, toast buns in oven (place directly on oven rack or use a baking sheet) until golden, 2-3 minutes.
  • • Fill buns with patties, pickles (draining first), bell pepper, and a bit of aioli. • Divide burgers between plates and serve with potatoes and remaining aioli on the side for dipping.

Tips for Making Thai-spiced Turkey Burgers:

  • Choose the right turkey: Ground turkey breast is a leaner option, but it can be dry. To keep your burgers moist, use ground turkey thigh or a combination of breast and thigh meat.
  • Season the turkey well: The spices in this recipe are essential for giving the burgers their Thai flavor. Be sure to use a generous amount of each spice.
  • Handle the turkey gently: Overworking the turkey will make the burgers tough. Mix the ingredients together gently until just combined.
  • Form the burgers gently: Again, be gentle when forming the burgers. If you pack them too tightly, they will be tough.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help prevent them from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the burgers: Turkey burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the burgers immediately: Thai-spiced turkey burgers are best served hot off the grill. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Thai-spiced turkey burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be cooked on the grill or in a skillet. With their unique blend of spices, these burgers are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new burger recipe, give Thai-spiced turkey burgers a try!
