This recipe might be a healthier and more flavorful alternative to traditional beef burgers. It is packed with protein and infused with aromatic rosemary and garlic flavors, as well as balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and red wine. This delicious combination perfectly complements the poor turkey.

What You Will Need

Ingredients

  • 1 tbs balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbs oil
  • 1 tbs red wine
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbs soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary leaf, or 1 tbs fresh, finely chopped
  • ¼ garlic powder
  • ½ pepper
  • 1.25 lb ground turkey, (93/7 lean)

The Process

1. Prepare the Marinade:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, oil, red wine, brown sugar, soy sauce, dried rosemary, garlic powder, and pepper.

2. Marinate the Turkey:

  • Place the ground turkey in a large bowl and pour the marinade over it.
  • Use your hands to mix the marinade into the turkey, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.

3. Form the Patties:

  • Divide the marinated turkey into 4 equal portions.
  • Form each portion into a patty that's about ½ inch thick.

4. Cook the Burgers:

  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Place the turkey patties on the hot surface and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

5. Serve:

  • Serve the burgers on your favorite buns with your preferred toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and your favorite sauce.

Additional Tips

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the burgers in a cast-iron skillet.
  • For a healthier option, serve the burgers on whole-wheat buns or lettuce wraps.
