TURKEY SMASH BURGERS

turkey smash burgers recipe featured by popular San Francisco lifestyle blogger, Just Add GlamSummer time grilling is going full force at our house!  We love firing up the BBQ on any given summer weekend and I’ve been trying out new recipes to mix up some of our BBQ favorites.  I’ve been playing with ground turkey a lot in recipes and made some insanely delicious turkey smash burgers this past weekend.  I made a variation of this juicy burger recipe with turkey and it’s a healthy mix of protein and flavor for any outdoor BBQ.  Check out how I made these below:

DELICIOUS TURKEY SMASH BURGERS

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Ground turkey
  • Seasoning mix of your choice (I made a mix of dried onions, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and an Italian blend seasoning
  • Best Foods Olive Oil Mayonnaise (to act as a binder for the burgers)
  • Burger fixings (I opted for butter lettuce for the buns, heirloom tomatoes, red onion, and creamy avocado to top these burgers

Add your spice mix to your ground turkey and work it into the mixture.  I just use a spoon and mix it in evenly.

In addition to the spices, I added a 1/4 cup of Best Foods Olive Oil Mayonnaise to act as an extra binder in the burgers and give them some extra juiciness.  The turkey I’m using is very lean so adding this olive oil mayonnaise helps enhance the flavor make them stick together.

And for the best part–time to smash the burgers!  Scoop out your turkey mixture onto a piece of wax paper and smash them down with a spoon until in patty shapes.  I prefer this method because it keeps my hands clean and I love the homemade and organic look to the irregular shaped burgers.  Repeat with the rest of the turkey mixture until all patties are formed.

And for a little bright color before hitting the grill, I gave these turkey smash burgers a healthy sprinkle of smoked paprika for extra spice and smoke!

While our juicy turkey smash burgers are cooking up, I sliced up the beautifully red heirloom tomato, red onion, avocado, and peeled “buns” with the butter lettuce.  Once the burgers were ready, we made a little assembly station available for our guests and plated up these yummy turkey smash burgers!

    Those are some great burgers. I love using mayo as a binder. It’ll add some great flavor and serve to keep the burgers even more moist.

    These look super tasty. I make burgers similar using tuna but have never thought to make them with turkey. I will have to try it out.

    I need to make these burgers soon. They do look so tasty. Happy to see that you used Best Foods Mayo with Olive Oil. I love that too. Adding paprika is sure to make these burgers a favorite in my family.

    Turkey burgers can be a bit dry so you can always add your own mix of spices and change these over time to get a different taste. I would use Nando’s sauce, soy sauce, mustard, herbs. ginger and garlic. this is my basic marinade and is Super tasty. Try this marinade on salmon and serve salmon with mashed potato topped with fried mushroom and broccoli.

    Would you say they were a smash hit? Could you use eggs as well & make a Turkey meatloaf ?

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

Can’t wait to go back! Have you been? You’ve got to try it!
I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard
