Ingredients
-
1 egg, slightly beaten
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 pound uncooked lean ground turkey or lean ground chicken
-
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1/4 cup jalapeno jelly, melted or barbecue sauce
-
Prepackaged shredded red cabbage, thinly sliced red onion, and/or desired toppings
-
4 potato rolls, kaiser rolls, or hamburger buns, split and toasted
Directions
1.
In a bowl combine egg, salt, and pepper. Add turkey and breadcrumbs; mix well. Shape the chicken mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
2.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook patties over medium heat in hot oil for 10 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the burger registers 165 degrees F . Brush patties on each side with jalapeno jelly or barbecue sauce. Cook 1 minute more on each side to glaze.
3.
To assemble, place cabbage and red onion on bottom of rolls and top with meat. Makes 4 servings.
Broiler method
Place patties on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 10 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the burger registers 165 degree F. Brush patties on each side with jalapeno jelly or barbecue sauce. Cook 1 minute more on each side to glaze.
Electric Tabletop Grill Method
Lightly grease the rack of an electric table top grill. Preheat grill. Place patties on the grill rack. If using a covered grill, close lid. Grill patties until chicken is no longer pink (165 degree F). (For a covered grill allow 5 to 7 minutes. For an uncovered grill, allow 14 to 18 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling.) Brush patties with pepper jelly or barbecue sauce and cook 1 minute more on each side as above.)
