This week I defrosted ground beef, only to discover it was actually ground white meat turkey! So, rather than grilling a burger, I had to develop a new recipe for the acid-reflux diet. Unlike ground beef, you can’t just put turkey on a grill and expect a juicy burger. White meat turkey has a low fat content, so burgers could come out very dry if just cooked plain. Also, they need to be cooked all the way through. I came up with a way of seasoning and steaming the burger, making it moist and tasty. This burger is very healthy, and it doesn’t need a bun or condiments.
Ingredients for one turkey burger:
• Quarter pound ground white meat turkey
• Three tablespoons chopped onion
• One teaspoon plus one tablespoon chopped parsley
• Three quarters cup sliced cremini mushrooms
• One clove chopped garlic
• Two tablespoons chicken broth
• Two tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Salt
To prepare the burger:
Season turkey with one tablespoon chopped onion, one teaspoon parsley, and salt. Form burger.
Heat skillet until very hot and spray with cooking spray.
Sear turkey burger on each side but do not cook through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Clean skillet, and return to burner. Heat olive oil on medium heat.
Add two tablespoons onion, one tablespoon parsley, and one clove garlic to pan.
Once the onions and garlic are sweating, add mushrooms to skillet and toss to coat.
Cover skillet and let the water emerge from the mushrooms – about five minutes.
Add chicken broth.
Return turkey to skillet and cover the pan to steam the burger, six to eight minutes.
Remove the burger and top with mushrooms and broth.
