BBQ Turkey Burger with Russian Mayonnaise

July 15, 2012 By Jittery Cook 11 Comments

Don’t get all excited. Jittery Cook will be posting only once a week for the rest of the summer. Today is the culmination of the Turkey Farmers of Canada promotion week. To honor the occasion, there’s a turkey breast roll marinating right now in my Jittery Cook fridge.

These BBQ Turkey Burgers with Russian Mayonnaise are moist and delicious. My inclination is to add as many vegetables as possible to every recipe.

Combine shallot, scallion, parsley, mushroom, orange pepper, salt, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce and sun-dried tomatoes in a large bowl. Add the ground turkey. Form the meat into nine 4-inch patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

Light a BBQ grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill over moderately high heat, turning, and grilling until a digital meat thermometer, inserted into the centre of the burger, reaches 165F.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the ketchup. Spread the Russian mayonnaise on the rolls. Top with the burgers, arugula, onion and tomato or roasted pepper slices. Enjoy the compliments! They are well deserved. Serves 6.

    Where can you buy ground chicken or turkey?

      Carolyn – most grocery stores carry them regularly, depending on where you live. If not, ask the meat manager or a local butcher as they should be happy to stock it for you.

    I went to Costco. Any good butcher can produce either. Anybody know a good source?

    I have a manual meat grinder and I make my own. Very simple -you put the turkey meat (use both light and dark) into it and turn the handle. Meat grinders can be found at any Asian market. They cost less than $10. Now for a question, what dry cleaner do you recommend after I bite into that magnificent creation and it falls all over me. For this reason I began making flatter but same weight burgers. Looks super Holly!

    will definitely try it YOUR way! I usually make my burgers with grated zucchini but mushroom sounds like a plan!
