Every time I make a burger it has its own personality and flair. Sort of like a meat loaf or a casserole. No two are quite ever the same. The other night, I opted to add some relish into the fold for some extra zest and crunch. I paired it with some delicious, fresh cut french fries seasoned with rosemary, salt, and pepper. These turkey burgers were so good my family gobbled them right up!
Ingredients (Makes 4 Turkey Burgers)
1 lb ground lean turkey
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce (it's gluten-free!)
2-3 tablespoons of organic sweet pickle relish
About 1/3 cup of gluten-free corn flakes (I used Southern Homestyle's Corn Flake Crumbs)
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of Emeril's All Natural Chicken Rub
Salt & pepper to taste
Gluten-free buns (I like Schar Dinner Rolls or Udi's Hamburger Buns)
Cheese (Since I'm intolerant to the proteins in cow's milk, I opted for white goat's cheese while my husband and son had sharp cheddar. You might opt for soy cheese, buffalo mozzarella, or skip the cheese entirely).
Directions
- Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl.
- Add all ingredients except for cheese and mix well.
- Mold into balls and then flatten into burgers. Note: Burgers always shrink and fatten up during cooking so if you like a big burger, make it extra big when raw.
- Grill or fry on medium-high heat for about 6 minutes per side or until cooked all the way through and nicely browned. I cooked mine in my stove-top grill pan this time - a nice stand-in for the big BBQ.
- Top with cheese if desired. Turn off stove and place lid over BBQ or pan to melt cheese for about one minute.
- Serve with the condiments of your choice on a gluten-free bun with a side of french fries.
- Pair with a nice gluten-free beer from New Planet and enjoy!
