Turkey Burger

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds ground turkey (preferably 93 percent lean)
1/2 cup finely grated Gruyère cheese
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for grates
4 hamburger buns

Suggested Accompaniments

Cheese slices
Sliced beefsteak tomatoes
Red and white onion (raw or grilled)
Ketchup
Mustard
Pickles
Mayonnaise
Boston lettuce leaves

Method

  1. Heat the grill to high.
  2. In a medium bowl, use a fork to gently combine the turkey with the Gruyère, scallions, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, and garlic; season generously with salt and pepper. Dividing the mixture evenly, gently form the mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.
  3. Lightly oil the grill. Place the patties on the hottest part of the grill; sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move the patties to the cooler part of the grill; continue grilling until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes per side.
  4. Split the hamburger buns and toast on the grill if you like. Place a burger on each bun and serve with the desired accompaniments.

Makes 4 servings.
