Turkey Burgers with Garlic-Rosemary Mayonnaise


HELLO burger! Does that not look like the largest burger EVER! Apparently we wanted you to get the full grasp of how yummy this burger was with a gargantuan "in your face" type of photo.

The verdict: It's definitely not your fatty red meat "animal-style" kind of burger. But a grown up sophisticated burger for all you burger aficionados out there. Could I have said the word burger any more times? Anyway, this burger (haha) was a definite treat for a weeknight meal. The yogurt and mayo kept the burger nice and moist and the rosemary adds a nice heartiness to the burger. This isn't the type of burger I'd feed to kids, but it's definitely a burger adults would enjoy. It's also healthy and figure-friendly too, might I add! So start your year off right with this guilty healthy pleasure and try these burgers. Burger! :D


Turkey Burgers with Garlic-Rosemary Mayonnaise
2 servings
Adapted from Giada at Home


Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup 0% fat greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup low fat mayonnaise
  • 1 tbs + 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely minced
  • 1/2 large clove garlic, grated with a microplane


Burgers:

  • 10 oz ground turkey
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 ¼ tsp Montreal Steak Grill Seasoning
  • 2 sandwich rolls or burger buns
  • 1/2 cup arugula or any salad greens, divided


Directions

For the mayonnaise: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, garlic, and rosemary; set aside.

For the burgers: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill or place a grill pan over medium-high heat. In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, grill seasoning and 1/2 of the mayo. Using clean hands, gently combine the ingredients and form the chicken mixture into 2 patties. (I let them set up in the fridge for a couple hours) Place the burgers on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes on each side. Transfer to paper towels and let rest for a few minutes.

Brush the cut side of the top half of each roll with the mayo mixture. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly golden.

To assemble the burgers: Place the chicken burgers on the bottom halves of the buns. Top each with lettuce greens, and a few slices of tomato.

Accompaniment: tomato and/or raw red onions or grilled onions
