Barbecue Turkey Burgers With Cucumber Salad
Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce, plus more for serving
- 4 slices Cheddar (4 ounces)
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
- lettuce and potato chips, for serving
Directions
- Combine the cucumber, radishes, lemon juice, dill, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Gently mix together the turkey, barbecue sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper with your hands in a large bowl until just combined. Dividing evenly, form the turkey mixture into four ¾-inch patties. Use your fingers to make a shallow well in the top of each patty (this will prevent overplumping during cooking).
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165° F, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
- Top the burgers with the Cheddar, dividing evenly, and cook, covered, until the Cheddar is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stack the lettuce, burgers, and additional barbecue sauce between the buns. Serve with the cucumber salad and potato chips.
