Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For burgers
1 large shallot, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (not labeled "all breast meat")
5 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, cut into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices
4 hamburger or kaiser rolls
For sun-dried tomato mayonnaise
1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Accompaniment: lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Make burgers:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cook shallot in oil with salt and pepper in an 8-inch skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a bowl. Add turkey and mix gently but thoroughly.
  • Turn out turkey mixture onto a sheet of wax paper and divide into 8 equal mounds. Pat 1 mound into a 4-inch patty and top with 1 piece of cheese, then put a second mound on top, patting it onto other patty to enclose cheese. Pinch edges together to seal and shape into a single patty. Make 3 more burgers in same manner.
  • Heat an oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then grill burgers, turning over once, until just cooked through (no longer pink), 8 to 9 minutes total.
  • While burgers are cooking, heat rolls on a baking sheet in oven until crusty, about 5 minutes. Transfer rolls to a rack to cool slightly.
  • Make mayonnaise and assemble burgers:
  • Purée tomatoes with water, vinegar, and salt in a blender or mini food processor, scraping down sides as necessary, then blend in mayonnaise.
  • Cut rolls in half horizontally (if necessary) and spread cut sides with tomato mayonnaise. Serve burgers on rolls with lettuce.

These burgers were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I made these burgers with sweet potato buns and they were amazing! I will definitely be making them again.

These burgers were a bit too greasy for my taste, but they were still good.

I love turkey burgers and these were some of the best I've ever had! The cheddar cheese really takes them to the next level.

These burgers were easy to make and cooked evenly. They were a bit bland, so I added some extra seasoning.

These burgers were a bit dry, but still tasty. I think I would add some more moisture next time, maybe some chopped onion or grated carrot.

These burgers were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey breast and they were still very moist.

These turkey cheddar burgers were a hit with my family! The burgers were moist and flavorful, and the cheddar cheese melted perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.
