One of my favorite young chefs is hanging out at The Café today...........
.................my daughter-in-law, Lindsay! I have the feeling she'll be on your favorite list too after you try her fabulous turkey burgers ...............

We love dinner on the grill, especially when the weather is nice. When Chris mentioned she had some wonderful brioche buns, I knew these turkey burgers would be ideal on them. I've been making these for a few years and they've become a house favorite. They are moist and flavorful thanks to the barbecue sauce. The turkey also provides a lean alternative to beef burgers. These go perfect with baked sweet potato fries. ~ Lindsay
Smokey Barbecue Turkey Burgers with Caramelized Onions
Ingredients for the burgers:
1 pound ground turkey
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce, plus more for serving (we love Sweet Baby Rays!)
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs (I used Panko)
2 teaspoons mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions for the burgers:
1. Mix together all ingredients. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties.
2. Heat the grill to medium/ medium high heat. Grill on one side for about 4 minutes or until the outside edges are browned. Flip over and cook for an additional 2 minutes, then top with cheese. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the cheese melts. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Ingredients for serving:
Buttery Brioche Sandwich Rolls or hamburger buns
barbecue sauce
cheese of your choice ( I used Provolone)
arugula
caramelized onions

These look amazing, Chris!! A must try recipe~
ReplyDeleteGuilt free burgers, and they look great!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks just delicious. Will try them for sure. Buns looks amazingly good. Thanks for sharing. I love BBQ season ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love to make turkey burgers especially since I can eat them without feeling guilty. I like that these have Panko in them rather than bread crumbs. With these additional ingredients I'm sure they have great flavor.
ReplyDeleteI always spray mine with Non-stick spray on both sides otherwise I find they stick - dont you? I will have to try your recipe the next time I make some. Thanks for sharing.
I will try these for sure! Loved the buns you presented yesterday and I love Lindsay's burgers!!!!
ReplyDeleteVicki, we just spray the grill grates before cooking and this seems to eliminate the problem of sticking.
ReplyDeleteIt is way to early in the morning to want this burger. Then again, maybe not!
ReplyDeleteI love it when Lindsay 'guest posts,' especially when I know it's a combined effort (still loving the look of those buns).
ReplyDeleteThe turkey burgers look amazing on their own, but I'm a huge fan of caramelized onions. They look fantastic.
This looks absolutely delicious! Perfect for summer! I've never even thought about making turkey burgers! I'm going to be making a lot of burgers this summer :p
ReplyDeleteWow, looking at these burgers is making me very hungry right now!
ReplyDeleteLove Turkey Burgers and I love Lindsay's recipes! You both are such wonderful cooks!! The Turkey Burger looks fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI love turkey burgers and these look fantastically flavorful! Great recipe for all the summertime grilling I'm bound to do this year!
ReplyDeleteYummm...I love it when Lindsay is in the kitchen-I get the best ideas!!Linds, this is finally my motivation to try ground turkey - it never sounded just right until I read this recipe. Thanks again, and Happy Anniversary.love, regina
ReplyDeleteThat is one gorgeous looking turkey burger! Love the caramelized onion and that bun...wow!
ReplyDeleteI love our bbq too. It's such a great way to cook! These look like the perfect summer dinner.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome looking lighter burger, I need to give this a try!!
ReplyDeleteWas wondering what kind of mustard? Yellow or a brown or a dry mustard.
ReplyDeleteWas wondering what kind of mustard? Yellow or a brown or a dry mustard.
ReplyDeletea Dijon or a brown mustard works great!
ReplyDeleteGreat, I was just looking for a healthy option for our BBQ. My family loves Sweet Baby Rays too!
ReplyDeleteI just love turkey burgers. After getting food poisoning from a batch 2 years ago I haven't dared try them again. These are just the thing I need to get me back on the turkey band wagon.
ReplyDeleteI made these turkey burgers along with the buttery brioche rolls. They both were delicious. This might become my main turkey burger recipe and who could buy another roll after eating the brioche. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWe love these so much. I use ground chicken instead of turkey. My husband is not a fan of turkey. They came out great. I use Perdue regular ground not exta lean. We eat them so much that I know freeze them to have them on hand. Thanks Chris
