Turkey Burgers With Rhubarb And Cherry Chutney Food

ALASKA SALMON BURGERS WITH RHUBARB CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Dice half the salmon into 1/8-inch cubes; set aside in a medium bowl. Process the other half in a food processor until slightly chunky; add to the diced salmon.
• In a separate bowl, combine the cilantro, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, smoked paprika, garlic and lime juice. Add the cilantro mixture to the salmon and stir gently until just combined. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the salmon mixture into 4 patties and chill, covered, in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Heat a grill to medium-high heat or heat a nonstick skillet with the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon patties until browned on the first side, 3 to 4 minutes; flip and cook until browned on the second side, about 3 minutes more. Place on the buns and top each with a dollop of Rhubarb Chutney. Garnish with some lettuce, red onion and pickles, as desired.
• Combine the rhubarb, cherries, brown sugar, blueberries, cherry juice, red pepper flakes, red onion, ginger and garlic in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 20 minutes. Stir in the honey and vinegar and continue to cook over medium-low heat until it coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes more. Cool and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

JUICY TURKEY BURGERS WITH ONION JAM

Steps:

• Prepare the onion jam: Heat a large saute pan. Toss in the onion slices with the oil and a generous pinch of salt. Add the sugar and cook over medium heat until the onions are caramelized and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and if a splash of juice from the cornichon jar, if using, and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• For the burgers: Break up the meat in a medium bowl, spreading it up the sides of the bowl so that the seasoning really permeates the meat. Sprinkle with the Worcestershire and salt. Mix with your hands, but do not overmix. (The more you work the meat, the tougher the burger.) Gingerly form the meat into four round 1-inch-thick patties. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, arrange the patties in a single layer at a distance from one another. Let cook, undisturbed, until the bottoms brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the patties and let the bottoms brown again, 3 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the stock to the skillet and cover. Simmer until the patties are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the lid, shut off the heat under the skillet and place a slice of cheese on each patty. Let the patties rest with the heat off until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Transfers the patties to a plate or cutting board and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Reduce the remaining liquid in the skillet by half, about 5 minutes, and serve it on the side of the burgers. People can spoon this liquid over the burgers instead of or in addition to ketchup. You can also just add this reduced liquid to the onion jam to enrich the flavor.
• Assemble the burgers: Arrange the bun bottoms on a work surface. Spoon some of the onion jam on each and top with one of the patties. Top with more jam and a few slices of cornichon. Top with the bun tops.

• In a 6-qt. stockpot, combine all ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until mixture has thickened., Transfer to covered containers.

CHUTNEY TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• For sauce, mix 1/4 cup chutney, mustard and lime juice. In a large bowl, combine parsley, green onions, salt, pepper and remaining chutney. Add turkey; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-in.-thick patties., Place burgers on a lightly oiled grill rack over medium heat or in a greased 15x10x1-in. pan. Grill, covered, or broil 3-4 in. from heat until a thermometer reads 165°, 5-7 minutes per side. Serve on buns with arugula, onion and sauce.

CURRY TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine ground turkey, mango chutney, bread crumbs, dried onion, curry powder, ginger, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl; mix well. Quarter the mixture, and shape into patties about 1/2-inch thick.
• Move patties to the freezer for 20 minutes to help them hold their shape better on the grill and not fall apart.
• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook turkey burgers on the preheated grill over direct heat until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve immediately.

RHUBARB CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place the rhubarb, sugar and lemon juice in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer and add the remaining ingredients.
• Continue to simmer 20 minutes or so, until the rhubarb is tender but still holds its shape.

For pantry storage, transfer the mixture to sterilized jars, seal with sterilized lids and process five minutes in a boiling water bath, or alternatively, place the hot mixture in freshly sterilized jars, seal the jars with sterilized lids and invert the jars on the countertop for five minutes. (This is a new method that has proved safe.)
