TURKEY MEATLOAF BURGERS

Turkey Meatloaf Burgers image

A meatloaf style turkey burger that's moist and flavorful. My kids love these burgers and don't realize it's a lighter alternative to beef burger. My kids just slap on some mayo and head to town. Great served with lettuce, tomato, and your choice of condiments, with a side of chips or raw crispy veggies.

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 pounds ground turkey
1 ⅓ cups seasoned bread crumbs
1 small onion - grated, and juice drained
2 eggs
3 tablespoons applesauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Mix the turkey, bread crumbs, onion, eggs, applesauce, chili powder, paprika, and kosher salt in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions, then shape into patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the patties in the skillet and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Place the browned patties on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Transfer the patties to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bake the turkey burgers in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve the turkey burgers on the hamburger buns.

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 jars (12 ounces each) red-pepper relish, such as Fourth Creek
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 pounds ground dark turkey
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 slice soft white bread, torn into pea-size pieces (1 cup)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons Heinz Chili Sauce, plus more for brushing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cups packed finely shredded kale
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
8 potato rolls, split
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

Drain 1 jar relish in a sieve; discard liquid. Pulse 2/3 cup drained relish with onion and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high; add relish mixture. Cook, stirring, until a thick paste forms, about 7 minutes. Stir in soy sauce. Transfer to a bowl; let cool 5 minutes. Stir in turkey, Worcestershire, mustard, bread, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste. Form into 8 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
Preheat grill to medium. Brush both sides of burgers with oil, then brush grates. Grill 5 minutes. Flip; lightly brush tops with chili sauce and grill until a thermometer inserted into centers registers 165 degrees, 5 to 6 minutes more.
Combine chili sauce and mayonnaise. Drizzle kale with vinegar and remaining 1 teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Brush split sides of rolls with butter; grill until lightly toasted. Sandwich burgers in rolls with chili-sauce mixture, remaining relish, and kale.

Tips:

Choose lean ground turkey: This will help keep the burgers moist and prevent them from becoming dry.
Mix in some vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to the burgers. Try adding grated carrots, zucchini, or onion.
Use a variety of seasonings: This will give the burgers more depth of flavor. Try adding garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing can make the burgers tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan and will also help them cook evenly.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers: They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the burgers on your favorite bun with your favorite toppings.

Turkey meatloaf burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways.
