H3 Recipe: Turkey Burgers

INGREDIENTS:

½ pound Turkey breast, ground

½ cup Onion, diced

½ teaspoon Garlic powder

½ teaspoon Onion powder

½ teaspoon Cumin

2 Tablespoon Cilantro, chopped fine

½ teaspoon Salt

¼ teaspoon Pepper

1 each Egg

¼ cup Panko (optional if mixture is too wet)

PREPARATION:

• Preheat grill, cast iron skillet, or George Foreman grill to a medium heat.


• Mix ingredients in medium-size mixing bowl.


• Spray non-stick cooking spray on the grill, or cast iron skillet.


• Patty the ground turkey breast mixture into 2- 4 ounce patties, or 4 – 2 ounce patties.


• Place patties on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side.  Thickness of patty will determine cooking time.


• Serve warm with your favorite condiments such as 2% sharp cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, sautéed mushrooms and onions, or even a Dijon mayo.

Chef’s Note:  To prevent drying out your turkey burger, make sure you do not over-cook your burger.  Use a thermometer and make sure the burger reaches 160 degrees, then let the burger rest.  The burger should carry-over cook to 165 degrees - which is perfectly done poultry.  No more dry burgers!
