Herb Garlic Turkey Burgers Recipes

HERBED TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• Sauté the onions and garlic: Sauté the chopped onion in olive oil for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes, or until the garlic begins to brown. Remove from heat. Transfer the onions, garlic, and oil to a large bowl to cool down.
• Make the burger mix: Once the onions are cool to the touch, add the ground turkey, salt, pepper, and herbs into the bowl. Using your hands, gently mix everything until well combined. You want the herbs mixed in without overworking the meat (which would make the burgers tough).
• Form the meat into patties: Use your fingers to form a slight indentation in the middle of the patties. When burgers cook, the meat contracts from the edges. If the middle part is slightly thinner than the edges it will help the patties finish with a more even shape and less of a bulge in the middle.
• Cook the burgers: Cook on a hot grill or in a hot cast iron frying pan for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until cooked through (165°F if using a meat thermometer). If using a grill , first pre-heat the grill on high for 10 minutes and coat the grates with a little vegetable oil. If using a frying pan , put a little oil in the pan first to help keep the burgers from sticking. A trick my mother uses when making burgers in a cast iron frying pan is to sprinkle the bottom of the pan with a little salt. The salt acts sort of like ball bearings, keeping the patties from sticking when you go to flip them.
• Serve the burgers: Toast the buns and serve the burgers with the accompaniments of your choice-sliced onions, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, bacon, mayonnaise (especially good with mayo), mustard, relish, and/or ketchup.

TURKEY BURGERS WITH GREEN GARLIC AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Grate the onion on the medium holes of a grater. You should have about 2 tablespoons grated onion (and a lot of juice, which you can discard). Place in a bowl with the ground turkey, ketchup, salt and pepper.
• Trim away the stalk from the garlic and remove the papery outer layers. Chop fine. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small skillet and add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until it is tender and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley, remove from the heat and add to the turkey mixture. Using a fork, mix ingredients well. Shape into 4 patties without packing too hard.
• Heat the canola, grapeseed or rice bran oil on a nonstick griddle or in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. When you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above it, cook the patties for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Serve with the condiments of your choice.
