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!

When pruning African Basil 🌿 ➡️ become a sweet🌸 little arrangement for my mama!

I try to make the most use out of the plants that I prune. African Basil produces these beautiful little purple flower when it’s overgrown. It’s the perfect pretty solution when it’s time to prune your plants!

Instagram post 17972561185345573 ✨K I T C H E N: Garlicky Roasted Tomatoes 🍅 and White Beans 🤍.
•**SAVE THIS POST**!
Remember those moody aromatic beans I made last week? Well here’s a recipe using them! It’s a cold and rainy in LA so I figured it was the perfect time to share this cozy dish. You could enjoy it as a stew or as an appetizer!
•
✨Garlicky Roasted Tomato & White Beans✨:
6-8 cocktail tomatoes (cocktail tomatoes are larger than cherry tomatoes but smaller than normal tomatoes. You can find them at any grocery store!) 
¾ cup olive oil
4 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2-3 cups cooked or drained canned white beans **(I used my brothy white beans so there was more liquid! If using canned, feel free to add 2-3 cups of water or chicken broth! If the beans are fresh use 1-2 cups of the broth!)
1 whole lemon peeled and cut into small pieces
Lemon zest ( zest the lemon before peeling)
½ cup parmesan cheese
4-6 anchovies
1 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Toast for dipping
•
Heat oven to 400º. In a baking dish, add the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic cloves and salt.
•
Roast the tomatoes for 35-40 minutes then allow them to cool for 10 minutes. 
•
Place a large saucepan or a @lecreuset Dutch oven on medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil from the tomatoes and the 4 cloves of garlic. Save the rest of the oil for another time or drizzling at the end!
•
Using a wooden spoon, smash the garlic into the pan. Then add in the anchovies and chili flakes  and crush them using the wooden spoon. They should gently melt into the olive oil.
•
Once anchovies have incorporated into the olive oil, add the roasted tomatoes. Crush the tomatoes.
•
Next add in the white beans, broth, the whole lemon and half of the parmesan cheese. Stir together and then place back into the oven at 350º for 20 minutes. I actually poured my beans back into a baking dish to make it a fun snack for MJ and me! 
•
Pull the beans out of the oven and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Drizzle a little of the tomato garlic olive oil on top to be EXTRA ~~!
•
Serve with crispy bread for dipping!

It’s been awhile since I checked in so I just wanted to say hello! 2021 feels like it’s finally starting to get into the swing of things and I feel really good about this new year ✨.

If you’re new, I’m Emily! I love cooking and helping others in the kitchen. I created my own line of authentic spice blends to assist the everyday cook in their kitchen and bring some boldness to their food! I have a passion for home entertaining and just creating a really lovely space in the place you spend the most time. I feel like food and cooking is so connected to your love for others, treating your home as a little sanctuary and making a wonderful life for yourself and the people around you. I have to admit... I REALLY miss throwing parties, hosting and making lots of food for lots of people! 🤞🏼 we can get back to that in 2021! Until then, I’m really enjoying my current company: 🧔🏽MJ, 🐶 Nala and Lucy 🐾 .

🦋In the next few weeks I’ll be rolling out some more fun additions to help make our homes feel even 🥧cozier, spicier✨ and more 💐beautiful!

How it’s started👉🏼How it’s going! Things are moving along nicely! So far we’ve: removed the countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet, microwave and cabinets! The new farmhouse sink is going in today and then hopefully backsplash will start moving in... but surprise! We’re picking ANOTHER backsplash (hopefully today). The goal is to have the kitchen done in 2ish weeks. Ambitious... but I think we could still do it!

More today on backsplash tile!
