Blake and I like to eat at this little hole in the wall restaurant that serves the BEST turkey burger! We always eat dinner there after hitting a few golf balls at the driving range next door and it's a wonderful way to end a nice summer evening. This is a bit of an adaptation of their BBQ bacon turkey burger. Although it was cool to have the bacon and cheese on the inside, I actually think this burger would be better with all the goodies on the outside. I topped my BBQ bacon burger off with homemade chunky BBQ sauce and a poblano pepper sweet onion salsa.
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. Lean ground turkey
1/4 Sweet onion - finely grated
1 Tbs. Grill Seasoning
4 Slices Bacon
2 Tbs. Blue Cheese Crumbles - 1 Tbs. per burger
Any type of hamburger bun you like
1. In a large bowl, mix together the grated onion and grill seasoning. Unlike ground beef, ground turkey will not get tough from over mixing. Make sure the ground turkey is well mixed before making your patties. You will need to make four patties for two burgers.
2. Make two of the patties and in the center put crumbled bacon and blue cheese. Make the other two patties and place on top of the previous ones. Pinch together the sides ensuring that the two patties are well sealed.
3. In a large skillet on medium to medium-high heat, heat 1 Tbs. oil and 1 Tbs. butter. Place the two burgers and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, making sure they are cooked thoroughly.
4. Once the burgers are ready to serve, place on top of your hamburger bun and top with the Chunky BBQ sauce. Find the recipe here for the BBQ sauce form my previous post! Then top with the Salsa and enjoy!
Pablano Pepper and Sweet Onion Salsa:
1/2 Pablano Pepper - Diced
1/4 Sweet Onion - Diced
1 Tsp. Cider Vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste
1. Mix together ingredients and set aside until the burgers are ready to serve.
