TURKEY BURGERS



Turkey Burgers image

Turkey burgers are much leaner than hamburgers, but they can be dry and dull. Moisten them by adding ketchup and a bit of grated onion to the ground turkey - or mayonnaise and a bit of mustard. The idea is to emphasize condiments, and keep the turkey moist.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, quick, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 medium onion
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
3/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 hamburger buns, preferably whole wheat
1 tablespoon canola oil, or use pan spray
Sliced tomato
Sliced onion
Iceberg lettuce
Pickles
Sliced red pepper
Ketchup and mustard

Steps:

  • Grate the onion on the fine holes of a grater. You should have about two tablespoons of grated onion (and a lot of juice, which you can discard). Place in a bowl with the ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt and pepper. Using a fork, mix together well. Shape into four patties - the mixture will be quite moist - and press the patties into ½-inch thick rounds.
  • Heat the canola oil in a nonstick griddle or large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. (Alternately, spray the griddle or pan with pan spray.) When you can feel the heat while holding your hand just above griddle or pan, cook the patties for five minutes on each side. Serve on buns, with the condiments of your choice.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups shredded or diced cooked turkey (I boiled a 1-pound turkey breast)
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 sprigs thyme, leaves stripped and stems discarded
Salt and ground black pepper
Salt and ground black pepper
1 2/3 cups mashed potatoes (I boiled 2 small red potatoes, then mashed it with 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly spray two 16-ounce oven-safe ramekins with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Heat up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onion and garlic and cook until softened and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add in the turkey and peas and stir to combine. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to incorporate, then stir in the tomato paste. Gently add the chicken stock and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and let the mixture thicken, about 5 minutes. Stir in the thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper. Remove the mixture from the heat.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the ramekins, then divide the mashed potatoes evenly and spread on top of the mixture. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easier transfer and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Cool 10 to 15 minutes, then serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground turkey: Opt for ground turkey that is at least 93% lean for a healthier and tastier burger.
  • Season the ground turkey well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and seasonings to add flavor to your turkey burgers. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Don't overmix the ground turkey: Overmixing can make the burgers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Form the burgers gently: Use your hands to gently form the ground turkey into patties. Avoid pressing down on the burgers too hard, as this can also make them tough.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help prevent them from drying out. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the burgers are cooked through.
  • Top the burgers with your favorite toppings: Once the burgers are cooked, top them with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Turkey burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are lower in fat and calories, and they are also a good source of protein. By following these tips, you can make delicious and juicy turkey burgers that your whole family will love.
