Cheesy Turkey Burgers Recipes

TACO TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• Add the turkey, onion, chili powder, garlic power, salt, coriander, cumin and pepper to a bowl and stir until combined. Shape the mixture into 4 burgers and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook for about 5 minutes; flip and cook until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F, another 4 to 5 minutes, topping the burgers with the cheese in the last 2 minutes.
• Transfer the burgers to the buns and top with tortilla chips, pickled jalapenos, pico de gallo and guacamole.

INSIDE OUT TURKEY CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Set grill to medium heat. Clean and oil the grates.
• Fold each slice of cheese into quarters to create 4 short stacks.
• Divide the ground turkey into 8 equal balls then flatten into 1/4 inch thick patties.
• Place a stack of cheese in the center of 4 patties and top with the remaining 4 patties. Pinch the edges to seal, then push the up the sides so they are an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
• Place patties and oiled grill and cover, cook about 6 minutes per side over medium heat, or until the center is cooked through. Transfer to buns with toppings and be sure to let it cool before biting into the center so you don't burn your mouth.

TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• For the Meyer lemon-honey mustard: Whisk together in a small bowl the mustard, honey, orange juice, lemon zest, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
• For the burgers: Preheat the grill to high. Form the meat into four 6-ounce burgers. If you are not going to cook right away, keep the burgers cold in the refrigerator. Sprinkle the burgers on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. During the last minutes of cooking, add 2 slices of cheese to each burger, cover the grill and let the cheese soften slightly, about 1 minute. Put the burgers on the buns, drizzle with some of the Meyer lemon-honey mustard and top with a few sprigs of watercress. Serve with extra mustard on the side.

GOAT CHEESE AND SPINACH TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler.
• In a medium bowl, mix ground turkey, spinach, and goat cheese. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
• Arrange patties on a broiler pan, and place in the center of the preheated oven 15 minutes, or until done.

CHEESY TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in large bowl. Add more bread crumbs if necessary. Should form a firm ball. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Shape into six patties, not too thin.
• Pan-fry, broil, or grill inside or out until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

CHEESY MEXICAN TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Start the barbecue or preheat the grill.
• Remove the core and seeds from the tomato and finely dice the flesh.
• In a bowl, add to the tomato: the turkey, mexican cheese, paprika and fresh coriander. Mix well.
• Divide the mixture into four and shape into burgers. If you have time, cover and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to let the flavours blend.
• Place a sheet of foil over the barbecue or grill, or use a baking sheet if preferred- because these burgers are made from a low fat meat, they can break up if not handled carefully, so the foil helps them to stay together. Handle and flip them with care.
• Place the burgers on the barbecue or under a grill, on the foil or baking sheet.
• Cook for 15 minutes, flipping regularly.
• If using a barbecue, remove the foil at this point- after 15 minutes- so the burgers pick up the chargrilled flavour in the next 10 minutes.
• Cook for a further 10 minutes (whether using a barbeque or a grill) or until completely cooked through.
• Serve with salsa if desired, on burger buns, Mexican rice, or whatever takes your fancy!

CHEESE-STUFFED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Divide the mixture into four and shape into burgers. If you have time, cover and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to let the flavours blend (I skipped this step to save time).
