Herb And Citrus Turkey Burgers Recipes

HERB-AND-CITRUS TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
• Place patties on prepared grill and cook 6 minutes on each side or until done. Alternately, cook 4 1/5 minutes on an indoor grill.

HERB BLEND TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl until blended. (Do not overwork meat mixture.) Shape mixture into 4 (5-inch) patties.
• Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350 to 400 degrees) 5-6 minutes on each side or until done.
• Scoop out the soft centers from bottom half of rolls, leaving 1/4 inch-thick shells. Place burgers in shells; top evenly with spinach and tomato slices, and cover with roll tops.

PARMESAN TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix turkey, parmesan, basil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper
• Form patties and sprinkle with the dash of garlic powder.
• Cook on the stove at medium low - medium heat.
• For jalapeno lovers (like myself) - mixing diced jalapenos (jarred) into the turkey adds a great kick and, as my mom would say, really "jazzes it up"!

BUILD YOUR OWN CANADIAN CRANBERRY AND HERB TURKEY BURGERS!

Steps:

• If grilling the burgers, preheat grill to medium-high. (You can also pan-fry or barbeque these burgers.).
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan/skillet over medium heat, or spray three or four sprays of low fat spray. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Add the thyme, sage, salt and pepper; cook until fragrant, for about 30 seconds more.
• Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and add the breadcrumbs and cranberries, stir to combine. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. Add the turkey mince and stir until combined; do not overmix. Form the mixture into 6 burgers/patties.
• To cook on the stovetop: Coat a large nonstick frying pan/skillet, preferably cast-iron, with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the burgers/patties, reduce heat to medium, and cook for about 5 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side for about 2 minutes. Cover and continue to cook until lightly browned but still juicy (the juices should run clear, not pink), about 3 - 4 minutes more.
• To grill: Oil the grill rack and grill the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes per side, flipping gently to avoid breaking them.
• Serve the burgers immediately, inside a burger bun with the optionial extras and condiments as suggested. A mixed salad is also a great accompaniment.
• NB: If using the bacon or the cheese slices, grill or fry the bacon slices for about 2 to 3 minutes beforehand and then place the bacon or cheese slice on top of a cooked burger for the last 2 - 3 minutes of grilling or cooking time.
