Turkey Burgers

This is a Martha Stewart recipe that my friend Jaime introduced me to... it became a fast favorite and I often use the same ingredients to make meatloaf!

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1/2 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese (I prefer Parmesan)
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

1. Heat grill to high. In a medium bowl, use a fork to gently combine ground turkey with Gruyere, scallions, breadcrumbs, mustard, and garlic; season generously with salt and pepper. Gently form mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.
2. Lightly oil grill. Place patties on hottest part of grill; sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move patties to cooler part of grill; continue grilling until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes per side.

* 1 to 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
* 1/2 large onion - chopped
* 4 cloves garlic - minced
* 1 cup water chestnuts - finely chopped
* 1 large head butter lettuce
* 2 carrots

Special Sauce

* 1/4 cup sugar
* 1/4 cup water
* 2 tbsp. hoisin
* 2 tablespoons soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
* 2 tablespoons ketchup
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
* 1/2 to 2 tsp red chile paste based on how spicy you like things
* 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water

Stir Fry Sauce

* 2 tablespoons soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons hoisin
* 1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar

Directions

Bring 1 tbsp. oil to high heat in a wok or large frying pan. Saute turkey, onions and garlic until browned. Add water chestnuts and saute over high heat for 5 to 6 minutes. Add brown sugar, soy, hoisin, and vinegar for the stir fry sauce. Saute and stir for a few more minutes until combined.

While the turkey is browning, make the special sauce by dissolving the sugar in water in a small pot over medium heat. Add hoisin, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice, sesame oil, and hot chili sauce to your taste. Bring to a boil, stir in cornstarch mixture to thicken, and turn off heat.

To Serve:

- On a plate place separated lettuce leaves (cut in half if really large), ribboned carrot (use your peeler), and chopped green onion. Place warm turkey in a serving bowl, and special sauce in a separate serving bowl. Everyone makes their own. Lettuce, chicken, carrots, green onion, and then a drizzle of sauce. Wrap and then enjoy.

Delux Turkey Meatloaf

1 lb ground turkey
Olive Oil
200g mushrooms, sliced
2 tsp dried basil
Salt & Pepper
1/2 cup white wine (optional)
1 egg, beaten
1 slice bread
Splash of milk
8 slices of prosciutto
goat cheese

Saute sliced mushrooms in a little bit of olive oil. Add basil, salt, pepper, and white wine. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Cool mushrooms. Soak bread in milk until mushy. Squeeze out bread and break into pieces in a bowl. Add beaten egg, ground turkey, and mushroom mixture. Lay out 4 slices of prosciutto on a baking sheet, you may want to grease it with a bit of olive oil first. Top with turkey mixture, forming a log. Crumble goat cheese on top of turkey mixture. Bring prosciutto slices up around the turkey log. Use remaining slices on top of the log, tucking in the bottom so you have a nice, neat package. Bake at 350F for 45min-1 hour or until internal temp reaches 165F.

Very yummy!
