Turkey Burger
Serves: ~5
Ingredients
1 lb Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 onion (finely diced)
1/2 Sweet Red Pepper (finely diced)
1 habanero or red chili (finely diced)
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
1 Tbsp fresh thyme (finely chopped)
1/2 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Chipotle Powder
1/2 Tbsp Coarse Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Garnish:
Brioche Burger Buns
Cheddar Cheese (Sliced)
Avocado
Dijon Mustard
Tomatoes
Equipment:
Non-stick Skillet with lit (or Aluminum Foil)
Stovetop
Large Mixing Bowl
Fish Spatula
Directions:
Prep: Finely chop onions, bell pepper, habanero pepper, and herbs and add to a large mixing bowl
Add ground turkey to the mixing bowl with seasonings. Use your hands and thoroughly mix together
Taste Test: Once thoroughly mixed, take a teaspoon of the ground beef and fry over medium to medium-high heat. It is important to taste test before forming all your patties. This is the best time you properly season your patties. Don’t skip it!
Form Patties: Weigh out roughly 113g (quarter pound) of the ground meat and form them into 1-inch patties
Fry: Using the oil of your choice, pan-fry the patties for 3-5 minutes per side. Or until the internal temperature reaches 160F. Once just about cooked, place a slice of cheese on each patty. Add about a tablespoon of water to the pan and cover. This will allow the cheese to fully melt.
Plate & Enjoy: Lightly toast your burger buns before spreading dijon mustard. Make the perfect burger by layering avocado slices, tomatoes, burger patty, and the top bun. Enjoy!
