Greek Turkey Burgers W Feta/Red Peppers
- 2 Spanish or sweet onions, cut into thick 1/4" slices
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (1/4 tsp table salt)
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pound ground turkey (or ground chicken, pork, beef or lamb)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns
- Roasted Pepper and Feta Spread (below)
- /2 Spanish or sweet onion, thickly sliced
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 fire-roasted red bell peppers, home roasted or store-bought, cut into strips
- 2 pepperoncini (canned pickled yellow peppers), sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon dry Greek oregano
- 2 pinches ground coriander
- 2 pinches ground cumin
- 4 small picked sprigs parsley
- 1/2" thick slice of tofu
- mound of sprouts
- 1. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush the onion slices with oil and grill/saute the onions until very tender, flipping the slices halfway. The longer you cook, the sweeter the onion will taste. Take 1/4 of the onions and finely chop. Reserve the remaining onions as rings to top the burger.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped onions, salt, pepper, ground turkey, Dijon mustard, coriander, parsley, garlic and cumin. Use your hands to mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture in 4 and shape into patties. With your fingers press down gently in the center of each patty to make a slight depression in the middle (the center of patty rises during cooking, so making a depression in middle will ensure an even patty).
- 3. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over high heat. Brush the burger with a little bit of olive oil. When the pan is hot, grill the patties for 2 minutes. Flip the patties and grill another 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low, cover the pan and cook until the patties are cooked through, about 3-5 minutes, depending on how thick your patties are, what protein you use and how done you like your burgers. I suggest cooking pork, turkey and chicken all the way through.
- 4. Serve with the burger buns, Roasted Pepper and Feta Spread and the reserved grilled onions, tofu and sprouts.
