Nugget Markets signature recipes

Ground turkey and chicken are great alternatives to the traditional all-beef burger. Flavors of chili powder, cumin, and dried oregano in the patty mixture add a little Tex-Mex flair to the burger. Add crispy golden onion rings, smoked cheddar and Bar-B-Cue Sauce and you'll find yourself singing ol' cowboy songs.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ pounds ground turkey
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup panko
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ⅓ pound smoked cheddar, cut into 12 equal slices
  • 8* onion rings
  • ½ cup Mesquite Bar-B-Cue Sauce
  • 4 leaves butter (bibb) lettuce
  • 4 sesame seed buns

Preparation

Combine turkey, egg, panko, and seasonings together in a bowl; mix well. Form mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

Heat oil in cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Cook burgers 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove from pan, lay 3 slices of cheese across each patty. Assemble burgers on buns starting with a leaf of butter lettuce, a turkey burger, two onion rings each and 2 tablespoons of Bar-B-Cue Sauce.
