Course: Main Courses, quick and easy
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Turkey Burgers
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon Italian parsley - finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil for cooking burgers

Red Pepper Coulis Aioli

  • 1/2 red bell pepper - roasted and peeled
  • 1/2 shallot - roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Pickled Red Onion

  • 1/2 red onion - thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Building your Burger!

  • 2 cups arugula
  • 4 slices pepperjack cheese
  • 1 avocado - thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato - sliced
  • 4 kaiser rolls

Instructions

Pickling the Red Onion

  • In a small pot, bring the white vinager, salt and sugar to a boil. Once it hits a boiling point, 4 minutes, pour the liquid directly over the thinly sliced red onion in a small flat Pyrex. Set aside and let it pickle!

Making the Turkey Burgers

  • Combine the ground turkey, Italian parsley, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix together until combined but do not over mix to prevent burgers from getting tough. Form into 4 patties abut 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Set aside.

Red Pepper Coulis Aioli!

  • You can either buy pre-roasted bell pepper or very easily roast one on your own. If roasting on your own, just place half of the pepper directly on the flame of your stove. Allow the skin to totally char. Once the skin is black, take it off the stove, allow to cool and peel the skin off. It should come off very easily!
  • Next sauté the red bell pepper and 1/2 a shallot in a pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil for about 5 minutes on medium heat- just until the shallot becomes translucent. Turn off the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Add the shallot and bell pepper into a small food processor. Add in the garlic, mayonnaise, sherry vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Mix on high for 30 seconds until smooth. Set aside.

Cook the Burgers!

  • Time to cook the burgers! I like to cook my burger in my Lodge cast iron skillet. Add in the canola oil and turn to high heat. After about 1 minute the pan should be nice and hot. Lower to medium heat and add the 4 patties to the pan and cook on each side for 5 minutes.
  • After flipping the patties, add the 4 slices of pepper jack cheese to each patty.
  • Turn the boiler on and toast the kaiser rolls for about 2 minutes under the flame. But be careful! They can go from toasty to burned REAL QUICK.
  • Once the buns are nice and toasty, take them out of the broiler. Place the cast iron skillet with the cheesy patties in the broiler for 30 seconds to get the cheese nice and bubbly!
  • Take the burgers out and assemble.
  • I do bottom bun then add the red pepper coulis aioli, then the cheesy patty, the avocado, pickled red onion, arugula, tomatoes and then a little more red pepper coulis aioli on the top half of the bun and Voila! We're ready to eat!

Instagram post 17855993498484563 This quote by Martin Luther King Jr. is one that I try to remind myself of everyday. It’s a small mantra I keep in my pocket to help me be a better person. But my small pocket mantra should be more. On this day that we recognize MLK and what he has done for our communities, I feel implored to do more everyday. This day is about acts of service to our communities. It’s not just one day- it is something I want to think about and ACT on everyday. In 2021, I want to do more for my communities and remember even more so that the time is always right to do what is right. 🕊

This week has been very stressful- personally speaking. Monday feels like it was 2 weeks ago. With the pandemic it can be difficult to find things that take you away from everyday life. Things like going to a movie, restaurants, a nail appointment or shopping 🛍 are not a thing right now. So you have to be resourceful and find creative ways to bring a little peace and happiness into your world 🌎!

Last week I ordered @yourpoppyflowers to be delivered to my house to make my own arrangement. Putting this fun little piece together was so enjoyable and relaxing for me! Typically I would love picking up flowers from around town but with everything being so bad in LA- I’m trying to stay home as much as I can. I loved that I could get high quality blooms right to my door! It was the perfect pick me up for the week!
•
Also, making my house feel like a pretty sanctuary has been important to me during the last 10 months. Flowers help make everything feel a little rosy and brighter!
•
Enjoy your Friday and cheers to making it here!
