ingredients list (makes 3 burgers):
- 1.25 lbs ground turkey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 serving stuffing (Stove Top)
- 1 cup turkey gravy
- 3 slices cheddar cheese
- 3 burger buns
to make: preheat grill on medium-high heat, or warm cast iron pan in oven on 400 degrees for 10 min. mix together the ground turkey & garlic. divide into 6 even-sized balls, and smoosh into pattys (they should be about 1/4 inch thick/ea). place an even amount of the stuffing onto the center 3 of the pattys. top these pattys with the remaining 3 pattys, and smoosh together the edges to seal. season both sides of burger generously with salt & pepper.
lower oven heat to 350. lightly oil a cast iron skillet and cook burgers on the stove top for about 3 minutes per side, then bake in the oven for about 5 minutes until they are fully cooked through. place cheese on top of each patty during last 2 minutes of cooking. after you remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a minute or 2, smash the buns onto the hot pan right into the burger drippings (adding a dollop of butter if needed).
pour gravy over burgers before serving. serve with Garlic Red Mashed Potatoes or sweet potatoe fries.
rating: yummy. turkey burgers by nature are a little boring and bland, but the stuffing def stepped them up a notch (particularly since it helped them from being too dry). next time when i have more time/ingredients on hand, they'd be good with some rosemary and/or cranberry in the meat, or a bit of sliced apple. homemade gravy couldn't hurt either if we had it around. solid 6.5*****~.
