TURKEY BURGER



Turkey Burger image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sambal oelek, optional
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
One 8-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and coarsely chopped
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
4 slices Cheddar
4 seeded burger buns
1/4 cup mayo mixed with 2 teaspoons sambal oelek
4 slices beefsteak tomatoes
4 slices raw red onion
Butter lettuce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F to keep the first batch of burgers warm.
  • For the burgers: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Add the onions, season with salt and bring to a medium-high heat. Cook the onions until they are soft and very aromatic, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, soy sauce, sambal oelek, ginger, water chestnuts, cilantro and the cooked onions and garlic. (Reserve the onion pan to cook the burgers in later.) Add one-quarter to one-half cup water; this will help the burgers stay nice and moist. Using your hands, squish everything together until they are really well combined.
  • Make and cook a little tester patty to be sure that the turkey is really well seasoned. Re-season if needed. If the burger is missing salt add more soy or just give a little sprinkey dink of salt.
  • When the burger mix is seasoned appropriately, form the mix into 4 equal size patties.
  • Coat the saute pan with new olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Place the burgers in the pan. Be sure not to crowd the pan, if you need to work in batches go ahead! Cook the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Place the cheese, if using, on the burger and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Toast the buns in a broiler or toaster. Schmear each side of the bun lightly with the sambaal mayo. Put a burger on each of the bottom buns and top each burger with tomato, onion and lettuce. Close up each burger, give each one a little squish and eat em' up!

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.

HERBED TURKEY BURGER



Herbed Turkey Burger image

These easy, flavorful turkey burgers can be cooked on the grill or stovetop. Fresh herbs, a bit of dark turkey meat, and a little olive oil keep them juicy.

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Sandwich     Grill     Quick and Easy     Burger     Grill     Ground Turkey     Turkey

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium red onion, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds ground turkey meat (preferably dark meat, not breast meat)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed chopped parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
To serve:
Burger buns
Toppings like sliced onions, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, bacon , mayonnaise , mustard, relish, and/or ketchup

Steps:

  • Sauté the onions and garlic: Sauté the chopped onion in olive oil for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes, or until the garlic begins to brown. Remove from heat. Transfer the onions, garlic, and oil to a large bowl to cool down.
  • Make the burger mix: Once the onions are cool to the touch, add the ground turkey, salt, pepper, and herbs into the bowl. Using your hands, gently mix everything until well combined. You want the herbs mixed in without overworking the meat (which would make the burgers tough).
  • Form the meat into patties: Use your fingers to form a slight indentation in the middle of the patties. When burgers cook, the meat contracts from the edges. If the middle part is slightly thinner than the edges it will help the patties finish with a more even shape and less of a bulge in the middle.
  • Cook the burgers: Cook on a hot grill or in a hot cast iron frying pan for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until cooked through (165°F if using a meat thermometer). If using a grill , first pre-heat the grill on high for 10 minutes and coat the grates with a little vegetable oil. If using a frying pan , put a little oil in the pan first to help keep the burgers from sticking. A trick my mother uses when making burgers in a cast iron frying pan is to sprinkle the bottom of the pan with a little salt. The salt acts sort of like ball bearings, keeping the patties from sticking when you go to flip them.
  • Serve the burgers: Toast the buns and serve the burgers with the accompaniments of your choice-sliced onions, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, bacon, mayonnaise (especially good with mayo), mustard, relish, and/or ketchup.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey, dark meat only

  • Puree mayonnaise, sour cream, chile, and adobo sauce. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds.) Brush grill with oil.
