For the Turkey Burgers
- 1 pound ground white-meat turkey
- 1 pound ground dark-meat turkey
- 1/2 cup fromage blanc or pureed ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
For the Beef Burgers
- 2 pounds ground beef, preferably grass-fed
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
For Grilling

For Serving
- 20 hamburger buns, split
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- Garnish: Extra-Special Sauce, Homemade Beer-Spring Onion Mustard, pickles, thin cheddar cheese slices, lettuce, and tomato slices
Directions
-
For the turkey burgers: Arrange 10 (4-inch) parchment squares on a tray. Gently mix together turkey, cheese, parsley, sage, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Shape meat into 10 (3-ounce) patties (3 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick). Transfer patties to parchment.
-
For the beef burgers: Shape meat into 10 patties (see turkey burger instructions above).
-
Refrigerate patties for at least 1 hour.
-
Heat grill to medium-high; brush grates with vegetable oil.
-
Cook the turkey burgers: Brush tops with olive oil. Flip burgers onto grill, peeling off paper. Grill for 3 minutes. Brush tops with olive oil. Flip, and grill until cooked through, about 2 minutes more.
-
Cook the beef burgers: Season burgers with salt and pepper. Grill for 4 minutes. Flip, and grill until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more (6 minutes total for medium-rare, 7 minutes total for medium).
-
To serve burgers: Brush buns with butter, and grill until browning around edges, about 30 seconds. Sandwich burgers between buns, garnished with desired toppings.
AZSunshine48,
You probably already know this, but on my page both the Special Sauce and the Beer-Onion Mustard were links to the respective recipes on this site.
Where is the recipe for the "Special (or secret) sauce"? LOVE the show and these turkey burgers ROCK! I'm just anxious to try the sauce with them.
