How to make Cajun Turkey Burgers

Summer is right around the corner. I have to say myself I have been cheating and grilling in the snow. For everyone who can’t here is a great recipe to start with.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 Nonstick vegetable spray
• 1 lb ground turkey breast
• 1 Tbl Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp Creole seasoning, divided
• ½ dash (14 .5 - oz) no-salt, stewed tomatoes, drained
• ½ tsp minced garlic
• 4 hamburger buns, toasted

1. Spray cold grill rack with nonstick vegetable spray. Spray even covering all areas and working around until fully coated.
2. Prepare charcoal grill for direct-heat cooking. You could use a gas grill but for the flavor to really pop out the charcoal does the best job.
3. In medium mixing bowl, combine turkey, Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning.
4. Evenly divided turkey mixture into 4 burgers, approximately 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
5. Grill burgers 5 to 6 minutes per side cooking them until 160º F is reached (using meat thermometer) and meat is no longer pink in the middle.
6. In a small saucepan or skillet, over medium-high heat, combine tomatoes, remaining Creole seasoning and garlic.
7. Cook 5 minutes or until most of liquid has evaporated. Timing is the key here to a good meal.
8. To serve, place burger on bottom half of each bun, drizzle 3 tablespoons sauce over burger and top with other half of bun.

Tips & Warnings

• You can decorate your plate with spring vegetables or stick to classic steak fries as a side dish.
• Never leave your grill unattended.
