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 ?

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
