Once again thanks for coming back & checking out my blog. I really enjoy doing this blog and it's just one outlet for me to share my passion for food to the world.
It seems like these days some of us eat burgers the same exact way. We go the usual hamburger meat route with cheese and ketchup. In my personal experience, I've been a little adventurous and swapped out ketchup for BBQ sauce. If some of you out there are getting tired of the same old same old, then definitely check out my Turkey Burgers with Balsamic Arugula, Goat Cheese, and Black Bean Salsa. They take less then 15 minutes to prepare and the combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy is a match made in burger heaven. Here's how I made them:
Turkey Burgers with Balsamic Arugula, Goat Cheese, and Black Bean Salsa
Ingredients
Ground Turkey
1.5 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 C Arugula
Goat Cheese (enough to cover top of burger)
Homemade Black Bean Salsa (see previous entry for recipe)
Pam Cooking Spray
Salt & Pepper
Hamburger Bun
*Toss arugula with balsamic vinegar in a small bowl & set aside
*Form ground turkey into patties & season with salt & pepper
* Coat a small skillet with Pam Cooking Spray
*Place burger in pan & cook covered over medium heat until the meat reaches a minimum temperature of 165 degrees. This will take about 4 minutes per side. To make sure the burger is cooked through, use a meat thermometer.
* With 2 minutes left of cooking time, top the burger with the goat cheese, and continue to cook.
*Take the burger out of the pan, and let it rest for 2 minutes.
*Top a hamburger bun with the arugula mixture. Place the burger on top of the arugula, and top the burger with salsa.
*Enjoy! You've just made yourself a homemade burger that puts fast food burgers to shame.
g0at cheese, & black bean salsa.
Thoughts on the dish: I thought this was a very successful dish. The combination of the sweetness of the balsamic, tang of the goat cheese, and freshness of the black bean salsa was a just a trio of perfect flavors. The first time I made this (2 hours ago), I cooked the meat 5 minutes per side & it came out a little bit overdone. That is why I recommend cooking it about 4 minutes per side. Remember you can always cook the meat longer, but you can't take back the cooking time. The meat may have been a tad bit overdone, but did this stop me from devouring it? Of course not. There weren't a lot of elements to this burger, and the elements you had to prepare were simple. Any home cook could easily assemble this burger & I'd say they would be very pleased with themselves. I know this burger is going to be a staple for myself now on, and I hope it will be for my readers. Try this dish out, and you'll never want to eat a burger any other way.
Thanks for reading this post everyone & stay tuned for future posts!
