I made some Turkey Burgers a little while back and didn’t post it. I need to cook with turkey more often. Usually you will see me making taco filling with turkey meat and one in awhile a chili, but today I wanted to have burgers.
I actually made the same burger twice, but one had a brioche bun and the other was in a pita. In addition, instead of the microgreens in both, I used alfalfa sprouts on the other. I made two patties on this night and made 4 more for later in the week.
Overall the taste was good, but it needed something and I haven’t been able to put my finger on it.
This was a recipe adapted from Eating Well Magazine.
- 1/4 cup(s) coarse-grained mustard
- 2 tablespoon(s) honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
- 1 pound(s) ground turkey breast
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
- 2 teaspoon(s) canola oil
- Fried Pancetta
- Microgreens or alfalfa sprouts and onions for garnish
Directions
- Heat your grill or pan.
- Whisk mustard and honey in a small bowl until smooth.
- Combine turkey, sesame seeds, 3 tablespoons of the mustard mixture, salt and pepper in a bowl; mix well. Form into four 1-inch-thick burgers.
- If grilling, lightly brush the burgers on both sides with oil. Grill until no pink remains in center, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
- If you’re using a stovetop pan, heat pan with some canola oil and cook until no pink remains in the center.
- Brush the burgers with the remaining mustard mixture. Serve on rolls with microgreens onions, and fried pancetta.
