Five Spice Turkey Cheeseburgers Recipes

TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix together: To a mixing bowl add turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, egg and breadcrumbs. Using a fork, mix together-try not to mix it too much.
• Shape into 4 patties about ½ inch thick- they will be really moist.
• Use your thumb to make a depression in the center of each patty. If grilling, place the patties on a parchment lined plate and freeze for 20 minutes.

CHINESE FIVE-SPICE TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine the meat with the seasonings, scallions and soy sauce. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
• Score the meat into quarters and form 4, 1 inch thick patties.
• Cook the burgers for 6 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through.

FALAFEL SPICED TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• For the patties: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, coriander, cumin and cinnamon and cook until fragrant, another minute. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, combine the egg and breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Add the turkey, spread it out, and sprinkle it evenly with 3/4 teaspoon salt, a few turns of black pepper, the crushed red pepper, cilantro and the slightly cooled onion mixture and use your hands to mix to combine. Do not overmix. Form into 4 balls, then flatten the balls into patties (make the patties bigger in diameter than you ultimately want them since they'll shrink while cooking-about 4 inches is good. If you're forming these in advance, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Heat a large skillet with a thin layer of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the patties with salt and pepper and cook until browned and the patties have an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 5 minutes on each side.
• For the tahini yogurt sauce: Stir together the yogurt, tahini, garlic, lemon zest and juice in a bowl until smooth and spreadable. Stir in the mint and season with salt and pepper and hot sauce, if using.
• For serving: Toast the buns in the skillet used for the patties, adding a little more olive oil as needed, until they get lightly browned and crisp around the edges. Assemble the burgers with a slathering of tahini yogurt sauce, a little pile of onions, a leaf of romaine and a couple of torn fresh mint leaves. Enjoy!

SPICED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the turkey mince, onion, garlic, curry powder, coriander and egg yolk with a little salt and pepper. Combine well with your hands, then shape into 4 flat burger patties.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat, then cook the burgers for 5 mins each side or until cooked through. Toast the cut sides of the burger buns. Place the salad on the bottom halves of the warm buns, then top with the burgers and chutney or lime pickle.

FIVE SPICE TURKEY CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Whisk together the bread crumbs, egg white, onion, soy sauce, minced ginger, five-spice powder, ground ginger, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix in turkey until just combined. Shape turkey mixture into four patties.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook on the preheated grill until the patties are no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place a slice of gouda cheese on each patty; continue grilling until cheese has melted, about 1 minute. While the turkey patties are cooking, place the pineapple rings on the grill until softened, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Assemble the burgers by placing a turkey patty on half of an onion roll, then top with the grilled pineapple. Divide the spinach leaves evenly among the burgers, then top with the other half of the onion roll.
