Description
Spice up your turkey burger with roasted peppers and a hint of smoked paprika for a flavorful twist on a classic dish.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 bell peppers (I used red & green)
- 1 jalapeño
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) chopped parsley
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Olive oil
- 1 1/4 lb (565 g) ground turkey
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) panko
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler to high. Place the bell peppers and jalapeño on a baking sheet and broil, turning every few minutes until all sides are blackened, about 10-12 minutes total.
- Transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to peel off the skins.
- Once cooled, peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and chop the peppers finely.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped peppers, parsley, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, ground turkey, and panko. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the burgers tender.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden-brown crust.
- Serve the turkey burgers on your choice of buns with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For a spicier burger, leave some seeds in the jalapeño.
- These burgers can be served on whole wheat buns for a healthier option.
- Leftover patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat them in a skillet to maintain their texture.
