Grilled Texas Turkey Burgers Food

BEST-EVER GRILLED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• or large plate with parchment paper, wax paper, or aluminum foil. Set aside.
• Arrange a few paper towels out on a cutting board, set a box mixer on top. Run the onion along the sides of the box mixer to grate it into fine, shredded pieces. Once grated, use the paper towel to soak up excess moisture from the onion. Too much moisture will make the turkey burger mixture very difficult to handle, so do not skip the extra 30 seconds it takes to blot the moisture from the grated onion. If your onion seems very wet, you can also wrap it in paper towels & wring out the moisture over the sink.
• Add the ground turkey, grated onion, garlic, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt & ground black pepper to a large bowl. Using your hands, mix until just combined. Overworking the turkey burger mixture will lead to tough burgers; take care not to overmix.
• Divide the turkey burger mixture into 4 even portions, about 1/3 pound (5.3 ounces) each. Lightly coat your hands in oil (or mist with nonstick cooking spray) & form each portion into a 1-inch thick patty. The mixture will be very wet at this point, so there's no need to fuss over making your burgers look perfect - just aim for forming them into the general shape & size you're after. Set them on the prepared baking sheet.
• the turkey burgers: Transfer the baking sheet with the turkey burger patties to the freezer. Chill for at least 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, as the turkey burgers chill, preheat the grill for medium-high direct heat grilling, about 450 degrees F. Just before placing the burgers on the grill, generously oil a wad of paper towel. Use grilling tongs to run the oiled paper towel over the grill grates, generously oiling the grates.
• Remove the turkey burgers from the freezer. At this point they should be quite a bit easier to handle; finish forming them into 1-inch thick patties, using your thumb to create an indent in the center of each patty. Firmly press each turkey burger patty down onto the prepared grill grates. Grill the turkey burgers for 6 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted in the center of the turkey burgers registers 160 degrees F. If you'd like to add cheese to your turkey burgers, do so when there are 2 minutes left of grilling time.
• Allow the turkey burgers to rest for a few minutes (residual heat will increase the internal temperature to 165 degrees F) before serving as desired. Enjoy!

GRILLED TURKEY BURGERS (JUICY AND DELICIOUS)

Steps:

• Start by combining all the ingredients, minus the salt and pepper, in a large mixing bowl. It's important to get them mixed together well. The best way to do that is to just get in there with your hands and mix it up.
• Once it's mixed, divide it into four equal parts. You don't have to weigh them for exact portions, just go by sight and get them as equal as possible. I like to roll them into balls for the best estimate. This method also makes forming the burger patties really easy.
• Form your patties and place them on parchment paper. Then sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
• Place the patties in the freezer to allow them to set up. This makes for an easier transfer to the hot grill when the grill is preheated (about 20 minutes).
• Light your grill and set up for medium-high direct heat.
• Once your grill is preheated, remove the turkey burgers from the freezer. Give them a light coating of olive oil. You can also use a non-stick cooking spray. Place the burgers on the grill directly over the hot coals.
• Grill them for four minutes per side, with a 90-degree turn at the halfway point. Then flip the burgers and add the pineapple slices directly over the coals.
• Cook both the burgers and pineapple for 2 minutes. Then flip the pineapple, turn the burgers 90 degrees, and add the optional cheese. Place the lid on the grill and allow them to grill for another 2 minutes to melt the cheese.
• Check the burgers' internal temperature with a reliable quick-read thermometer. They should be around 160 °F. Remove the burgers and pineapple from the grill and place them on the buns.

TURKEY PIMENTO BURGER WITH GRILLED ONIONS ON TEXAS TOAST

Steps:

• Cheese -- Now weather you make your own or buy some. Just make sure it is done before you start making your burgers.
• Burgers -- In a small saute pan on medium heat add the bacon and slowly render until the bacon is cooked through and is golden brown. You don't want it crisp as you will be adding it directly to the burger meat. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with a paper to drain. Then in the same pan, drain all the bacon drippings and add the onion and garlic and cook just a minute, this will soften them up a bit.
• In a large bowl, add the egg (beaten well), worcestershire, dijon mustard, pinch of salt (about 1/2 teaspoon) and pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon), the onion and garlic mix, bacon, bread crumbs, parsley, and mix well. Lastly, add in the turkey and mix lightly to combine. Over mixing the turkey can cause the burger to become tough. Make 4 large patties and place on a small cookie sheet lined with parchment or foil and freeze for 15-20 minutes. Freezing them slightly makes it easier to cook.
• Onions -- As your burgers are in the freezer, saute the onions. Use that same pan you cooked the bacon, onion and garlic. The same flavors are fine for this. Add the butter, onions, salt and pepper and bring to medium heat and sweat (cook) the onions without browning until they are soft and translucent. They will take around 10 minutes. When they are done, turn off the heat and set to the side. The onions can also be done the day or night before and then reheated in the microwave in just seconds.
• Tomatoes -- You can use slices, but I just like them chopped for this burger. To me it just works best and is just as easy to prepare. Cut in half and lightly squeeze over your sink, and most of the seeds and juice will come right out. Then chop and set to the side in a small bowl as you cook your burgers.
• Texas Toast -- As the burgers cook prepare your Texas toast according to directions. My brand takes approximately 15 minutes in the oven, so I start that before I start to cook the burgers.
• Burgers -- I add butter to either a saute or grill pan and bring to medium high heat. Add the chilled (but not frozen) burgers) and cook approximately 5-6 minutes per side. It is turkey, so you want the burger completely done. Remember make sure you get a nice crust on the first side before you flip the burger.
• Sandwich -- This is just my version, but I like to add the onions on the first slice of toast, then the burger, top with the tomatoes and cheese sauce. Finish it with last slice of toast and slice in half.
• What a great sandwich/burger. ENJOY!
