Description
If you called this turkey burger dry it would reply “um, never felt that; never been through that; never experienced that emotion… truly… never… don’t know what that is, only know millions have it.”
Ingredients
Scale
-
2 lbs lean ground turkey (I use Butcher Box)
-
1 medium sweet onion, grated
-
1/4 C fresh parsley, minced
- 1/3 C all-purpose flour
-
3 garlic cloves
-
1 large egg, beaten
-
4 tbsp salted butter, frozen
-
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp seasoned salt, to taste
-
1/2 tsp chili powder
-
1/2 tsp ground cumin
-
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
-
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
-
Begin by tossing the onions, parsley, frozen butter, and garlic into the bowl of your food processor. Pulse until it forms a thick paste.
-
Add your ground turkey to a bowl and pour in the paste from the food processor. Now sprinkle in all of the seasonings except the kosher salt, the Worcestershire sauce, and the egg. Use a silicone tool to mix everything together. The mixture will be quite loose. We like this. We want it.
-
Mix a pinch or so of kosher salt into the flour, then pour the flour into a rimmed dish or plate. Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat to let it preheat.
-
After a couple of minutes drizzle some oil into the preheated and swirl it around. Remove some of the turkey meat from the bowl and use your hands to shape it into a patty. It will feel very wet and be hard to form.
-
Cook the patties for 5 minutes on this first side, then flip and allow to cook until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes more. It’ll depend on the thickness. Juices should run clear and a thermometer inserted into the center should read 160°F. Remove the patties to rest on a plate.
-
After the first batch, you’ll likely need to reduce the heat to medium for the rest of the burgers, but it depends on your stove and if you used a cast-iron skillet.
- For cheeseburgers, place a slice of cheese directly on the patty at the end of its cooking time, then cover the pan with a lid to allow the steam to melt the cheese. Transfer to a wire rack to rest, then assemble your burgers. Dassit.
