Turkey Burgers With Red Onion And Jalapenos Food

SOUTHWEST TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Chop your garlic and veggies.
• Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until crisp. Wipe excess grease from pan and return skillet to heat.
• While bacon cooks, combine turkey meat, garlic, shallot or onion, thyme, cilantro or parsley, bell pepper, serrano or jalapeno pepper, cumin, hot pepper sauce, grill seasoning or salt and pepper. Divide mixture into 4 equal mounds then form meat into patties. Drizzle patties with vegetable oil to coat. Cook in skillet over medium high heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Place sliced cheese over the patties in the last 2 minutes of cooking, use 1 or 2 slices for each patty, as you like.
• Pile cooked cheeseburgers into buns. Spread sweet relish or jelly on bun tops and set red leaf lettuce into place, using the relish or jelly as glue. Top cheeseburgers with 2 slices of cooked, crisp bacon or turkey bacon and lettluce. Then serve with tortilla chips, tossed salad and/or spicy o-nuts.

TURKEY BURGERS WITH RED ONION AND JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook onion with 1/4 teaspoon salt, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and toss with 2 tablespoons lime juice.
• Heat grill to medium-high. Divide turkey into 4 equal pieces. Shape each into a 3 1/2-inch patty (about 3/4 inch thick). Brush both sides of burgers with oil, and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Grill until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers reaches 155 degrees, about 4 1/2 minutes per side (3 1/2 minutes if using a grill pan). Grill buns, cut sides down.
• Meanwhile, mash avocado with a fork, and mix with remaining tablespoon lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread onto buns. Sandwich romaine, burgers, onion, jalapenos, and cilantro between buns.

JALAPENO TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• For the jalapeno jam: In a small saucepot, combine the jalapenos, sugar and marmalade and bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer until the liquid reduces to a glaze, about 1 hour.
• For the turkey burgers: In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt and pepper and mix well. Form the mixture into 6 patties.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add 3 of the patties to the pan and cook until the first sides are seared, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the burgers are cooked completely through, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon grapeseed oil and the other 3 burgers.
• Butter each of the buns on both sides and toast them in the hot skillet until golden brown.
• Dress each of the bottom halves of the buns with lettuce, tomato, red onion and avocado. Place a burger on top of each dressed bun and top with 2 tablespoons of the jalapeno jam. Finish with a bun top.
