Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 0.5 cup dried cherries
- 1 medium shallot
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces sliced tomato
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
Finely chop the dried cherries and set them aside.
Peel and finely mince the shallot and garlic.
Chop the parsley into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped dried cherries, minced shallot, minced garlic, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated, but be careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Once the pan is hot, carefully add the turkey patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are nicely browned.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each bun. Add the cooked turkey patties on top, followed by a dollop of mayonnaise if using. Cover with the top half of the buns.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cherry Turkey Burgers!
