Hot ’n’ Spicy Turkey Burgers

Makes 4 servings

These make a nice alternative to the usual beef burgers. When you have time, double or triple this recipe and freeze the extra patties, uncooked, for up to 3 months.

Ingredients

  Sauce  
1⁄2 cup ketchup 125 mL
1 tbsp vinegar 15 mL
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 15 mL
2  cloves garlic, minced 2 
1⁄4 to 1⁄2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 1 to 2 mL
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce 1 mL
1/4 tsp black pepper 1 mL
     
  Burgers  
1 lb ground turkey 500 g
1/3 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 75 mL
4  large hamburger buns, sliced 4 
  • Preheat barbecue or broiler

Instructions

Step 1
Sauce: In a small bowl, combine ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, red pepper flakes, hot pepper sauce and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2
Burgers: In a large bowl, combine turkey and oats. Add half of the sauce; mix thoroughly. Form into 4 large patties.

Step 3
Barbecue on greased grill or broil 6 inches (15 cm) from heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side. Brush with remaining sauce after burgers have been turned. Place in buns to serve.

Tips

After brushing uncooked meat with sauce, be sure you don’t allow the brush to contact the cooked meat; otherwise, it will become contaminated with harmful bacteria.
