Here's a great recipe that i think everyone would enjoy from the Safeway Summer site. It's prefect for grilling on the weekend! Hope you all enjoy
Asian-Spiced Turkey Burgers
* 2 slices firm-textured white bread
* 1 O Organics™ Large Egg, beaten to blend
* 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
* 2 tbsp. Safeway SELECT™ Soy Sauce
* 1 tbsp. minced garlic
* 1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
* 1 1/4 lbs. ground turkey (not extra-lean)
* 4 large potato hamburger buns or wheat hamburger buns, split horizontally
* Garnishes: red leaf lettuce leaves, hoisin sauce or Chinese mustard, and plum sauce or Safeway Ketchup
1. Whirl bread in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs form.
Pour crumbs into a bowl and combine with egg, green onions, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
Add turkey and gently mix with a fork just until ingredients are evenly blended.
2. Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions.
With your hands, shape each portion into a 3/4-in.-thick patty.
If making ahead, lay patties side by side on a plate, cover airtight, and chill up to 24 hours.
3. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct, medium-high heat (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 in.
above the cooking grate only 2 to 3 seconds; visit our Grilling Essential section for complete instructions).
Place burgers on well-oiled cooking grate; cover gas grill. Cook, turning once with a wide spatula,
until meat is opaque in center (cut to test), about 10 minutes total.
During the last minute of cooking time, place buns with cut sides down next to burgers and cook until toasted.
4. Transfer buns to a platter, tuck burgers inside, and garnish to taste. |
