Blue Cheese Turkey Burgers With Balsamic Reduction Drizzle

Simply fantastic!!!

6-7 Patties

INGREDIENTS:

1. 1 lb ground turkey
2. 4 oz. block blue cheese, crumbled
3. 2 T chopped fresh Italian flat leaf parsley
4. ¼ C white onion chopped finely
5. ¼ C red pepper chopped finely
6. 1 large clove of garlic chopped very finely
7. ½ t grated gingerroot
8. ¼ t smoked paprika
9. 1 ½ t kosher salt
10. ¼ t black pepper
11. 2 T olive oil + more for prep
12. Balsamic Reduction for drizzle at time of plating*

METHOD:

• Combine all ingredients. Form into patties. I moistened my hands with olive oil before forming each patty so the meat doesn’t stick to your palms, and you can create a nice, round burger.
• Heat a medium sauté pan to high heat, add the 2T oil. Fry the burgers until caramelized on each side and done. Don’t overcook. Turkey becomes hard if cooked too long!
• Serve with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction and more parsley if desired.

*I purchased a bottle of this. But you can make your own by slowly reducing a good balsamic in a pan on medium heat until it becomes a syrup, about 6+ minutes. Watch it carefully. It burns easily!
