Turkey Burgers With Prosciutto And Melon Food

TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix together: To a mixing bowl add turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, egg and breadcrumbs. Using a fork, mix together-try not to mix it too much.
• Shape into 4 patties about ½ inch thick- they will be really moist.
• Use your thumb to make a depression in the center of each patty. If grilling, place the patties on a parchment lined plate and freeze for 20 minutes.

PROSCIUTTO, CANTALOUPE AND BUTTER SANDWICH WITH BASIL DRIZZLE

Steps:

• For the basil drizzle: Combine the basil, parsley, salt, red pepper flakes, garlic, lemon juice and chile in a mini food processor and pulse to make a chunky paste. Add the olive oil and process until smooth and bright green.
• For the prosciutto, cantaloupe and butter sandwich: Spread the butter on both cut sides of the baguette. Drizzle the bottom piece with a tablespoon or so of the basil drizzle. Layer the prosciutto and cantaloupe on the bottom piece of the baguette, ruffling and folding the prosciutto as you go. Drizzle a tablespoon of the basil drizzle over the top. Drizzle the cut side of the top piece with 1/4 cup or so of the basil drizzle. Place the top piece of baguette on the prosciutto and cantaloupe and cut into 2 sandwiches using a serrated knife. Serve the extra basil drizzle on the side or reserve for another use.

• In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, grated onion, garlic, 2 tablespoons basil, seasoned salt and pepper. Form mixture into 6 patties. Set aside.
• Brush grill pan with olive oil.
• Place patties on grill pan. Cook on each side for 5 to 6 minutes or until cooked thoroughly.
• While burgers are cooking, preheat a large nonstick skillet on the stovetop. Place prosciutto slices in skillet and cook until crispy. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons basil. Set aside.
• When the turkey burgers are cooked, top with provolone and heat until melted. Remove burgers from grill pan and place on a tray. Cover with foil tent to keep burgers warm.

TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Grate the onion on the fine holes of a grater. You should have about two tablespoons of grated onion (and a lot of juice, which you can discard). Place in a bowl with the ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt and pepper. Using a fork, mix together well. Shape into four patties - the mixture will be quite moist - and press the patties into ½-inch thick rounds.
• Heat the canola oil in a nonstick griddle or large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. (Alternately, spray the griddle or pan with pan spray.) When you can feel the heat while holding your hand just above griddle or pan, cook the patties for five minutes on each side. Serve on buns, with the condiments of your choice.
