Sara's Spicy Boozy Turkey Burgers
We adapted this recipe ever so slightly from Sara Deseran’s Picnics cookbook.
- 2 lb ground dark meat turkey
- 1 c minced onion
- 3 T dried bread crumbs (we use panko)
- 2 T tequila
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 T minced garlic
- 2-3 tsp minced serrano chiles (or to taste)
- 2 tsp minced fresh oregano – or about 3/4 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp Diamond kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 8 small-ish hamburger buns (brioche is what we often use)
- mashed avocado with a squeeze of lime or lemon, tomatoes, red onions for toppings (optional)
Combine all of the ingredients (except buns and toppings) in a large bowl; use your hands to mix well. Form into 8 patties.
Grill over a medium hot fire – about 4-6 minutes per side or until cooked through – or fry in a cast iron pan to which you’ve added about 1 T oil – on medium high heat for the same length of time.
We recommend making the whole recipe, even if you’re not feeding 8 folks. The patties will warm up beautifully – and can even be cooked and then frozen for a later date. Recipe brought to you by BigLittleMeals.com and Andy and Ann.
