CHORIZO BURGERS

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 pieces thick-cut bacon
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground chuck
1/2 pound chorizo
One 4-ounce can diced green chiles (not drained)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 large eggs
4 burger buns
Green leaf lettuce, leaves separated
1 large tomato, sliced thin
Hot sauce, to taste
Taco Tots, recipe follows
One 32-ounce bag frozen potato tots (about 5 cups)
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Put the bacon on a sheet pan lined with foil. Bake until crispy, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the cilantro mayo: Mix the mayo with the chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  • For the patties, mix the chuck, chorizo, green chiles, a pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl until combined well. Pinch off a fourth of the meat mixture, forming it into a disc. Repeat with the remaining meat to make 3 more discs. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in the preheated skillet, then add the patties. Using the bottom of a spatula, smash the patties until they are about 1/2-inch-thick. Fry until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side, then remove to a plate.
  • Meanwhile, start the eggs. Heat the remaining olive oil and the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook sunny-side up, 5 to 6 minutes for a slightly runny yolk. Remove the eggs with a slotted spatula to drain or remove the eggs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Spread the bottom of each bun with some of the cilantro mayo and place on plates or a serving dish. Top each with a patty and 2 pieces of bacon. Top each with lettuce, tomato and an egg; drizzle with some hot sauce. Spread the remaining cilantro mayo on the bun lids, then place them carefully on top of the burgers.
  • Serve alongside the Taco Tots.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Toss the potato tots and taco seasoning on a sheet pan. Bake until crisp, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle over the cheese and return to the oven to melt the cheese, 5 minutes more.

TURKEY CHORIZO



Turkey Chorizo image

I was looking to make a lighter version of chorizo with a strong garlic flavor. The original recipe calls for ground pork and not having in I used turkey and made a few additional changes and the result was very good. The Ancho chile will not add alot of heat. It adds a nice rich flavor. The heat can be adjusted to your liking by increasing the red pepper flakes.

CHORIZO BURGERS



Chorizo Burgers image

I've always enjoyed a hamburger right off the grill, and in the Southwest we enjoy chorizo, so I combined the two. Instead of using store-bought condiments, I use fresh ingredients to brighten up the burgers along with some pickled vegetables. I like to serve these burgers with a side of deep-fried Brussels sprouts. -Robert J. Johnson, Chino Valley, Arizona

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your turkey chorizo burgers. Look for ground turkey that is at least 85% lean, and use fresh chorizo sausage. You can also make your own chorizo sausage if you prefer.
  • Don't overmix the meat: When mixing the ground turkey and chorizo, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can make the burgers tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Season the burgers well: Season the burgers generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cook the burgers over medium heat so that they have a chance to cook through without burning. If you cook the burgers over too high heat, they will burn on the outside and be raw on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the burgers are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The burgers should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Turkey chorizo burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend cookout. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your turkey chorizo burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So next time you're looking for a new burger recipe, give turkey chorizo burgers a try. You won't be disappointed!
