Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup rhubarb
- 1 cup sweet cherries (pitted and halved)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 tsp ground ginger
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup sliced red onion
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2-inch thick. Use your thumb to press a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Cook the turkey patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
While the burgers cook, prepare the rhubarb and cherry chutney. In a small saucepan, combine diced rhubarb, sweet cherries, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and ground ginger.
Simmer the chutney over medium-low heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun (optional). Add a lettuce leaf, the cooked turkey patty, a generous spoonful of rhubarb and cherry chutney, and a few slices of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Turkey Burgers with Rhubarb and Cherry Chutney!
