Tamarind Glazed Turkey Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ginger and sauté 2 minutes. Add tamarind concentrate, honey, and water and bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until thick enough to coat spoon and reduced to 1¼ cups, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Cool completely (volume will reduce as glaze cools); mix in lime juice. Do ahead: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
• Stir mayonnaise, ginger, salt, jalapeño, black pepper, and 4 teaspoons glaze in large bowl to blend; mix in green onions. Add ground turkey; blend gently (do not pack tightly). Shape mixture into eight ½-inch-thick patties. Arrange patties on small baking sheet. Do ahead: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill rolls, cut side down, until golden, about 2 minutes; transfer to work surface. Grill burgers until cooked through and thermometer inserted into center registers 160°F, about 8 minutes per side. Brush each burger with glaze. Place 1 burger, glazed side down, on each roll bottom; brush each burger with more glaze. Top each with onion, tomato, lettuce, and roll top. Serve, passing remaining glaze separately.

Steps:

• Prep the burgers: Combine the salt, paprika, pepper and granulated garlic in a small bowl. Form 6 turkey patties and sprinkle on both sides with the seasoning mixture.
• Make the glaze: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and jalapenos and saute until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the marmalade, mustard, black pepper and chili powder and cook about 2 minutes, until fully combined. Reserve until ready to use.
• Preheat a grill to high. Grill the patties until nice markings are shown, about 5 minutes per side, then reduce the flame to medium and cook until well done, 12 more minutes, flipping after 5 minutes. At the same time, toast the buns on the grill.
• Serve the burgers on the buns; top with the glaze, lettuce, tomato and red onion. Serve with pickles.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in a small bowl. Mash tamarind paste and mix well with other ingredients. Strain into another small bowl, gently pushing any thick paste and tamarind seeds against the strainer with a spoon or spatula to get as much paste as possible, and to get a smooth consistency. Set glaze aside.
• Prepare grill to medium-hot heat. In a large bowl combine first 7 ingredients mixing gently with hands or spoon. Add cilantro, basil, mint, lime zest, salt and pepper mixing gently with hands or spoon. Form into 6 patties.
• Brush grill with toasted sesame oil. Place patties on grill. Cook until brown, about 4 minutes, then turn over. Brush with sesame oil and then baste with glaze. Cook until juices run clear when meat is pierced in the center, about 5 minutes depending on thickness. Toast buns lightly, while patties are cooking on the outer edges of the grill.
• Serve placing some watercress (or arugula) the bottom half of the buns, then cooked patties and top with a little more tamarind glaze, cucumber slices, red pepper rings and top half of buns.

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.

Steps:

• Mix ground turkey, minced red onion, Dijon mustard, and coarse salt in a bowl; form into 4 patties and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Drizzle olive oil over the burgers.
• Cook burgers on the preheated grill 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 on whole wheat hamburger buns topped with baby arugula, avocado, green bell pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine onion, 2 Tablespoons barbecue sauce, breadcrumbs, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and ground turkey.
• Mix until well combined.
• Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat and place patties on the grill. Cook 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
• Serve patties on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and remaining barbecue sauce.
