TURKEY OR CHICKEN BURGERS
4 burgers

To grind your own turkey or chicken for these burgers, see Grinding Meat at Home. If possible, use dark meat for more flavor and moisture. Ground duck will also work here.

Combine in a medium bowl:

  • 3 green onions, minced
  • (2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes)
  • (2 teaspoons curry powder, chili powder, or Five-Spice Powder)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Using your hands, separate into small chunks:

  • 1 pound ground turkey or chicken

Add to the bowl and toss with the seasonings; do not overmix. Shape into 4 patties and grill, broil, or pan-fry as for Hamburger Patties; the internal temperature at the center of the patties should reach 165°F. Serve on toast or buns as for Hamburgers or Patty Melt.
