Turkey Burgers

I maybe should have called this recipe today green goddess turkey burgers because the word “goddess” conjures up images of strength, power, and feel-good days at the spa, but also because the burgers are dressed with a creamy herb dressing is an adaption of the classic green goddess dressing.

However, I took many liberties with the recipe and, in the end, it didn’t seem right to call it something that it really isn’t. The original has lots of mayo, sour cream, and a bit of anchovy. My version is lighter with Greek yogurt and a small amount of mayo for richness. And the anchovy paste? It’s an ingredient I don’t keep on hand, so I switched it out with some savory Worcestershire sauce. It’s a heavy-handed adaptation, so I went with a less controversial name: creamy herb dressing.

The dressing adds a brightness when spooned on turkey burgers topped with avocado and fresh greens. The recipe makes far more than you need for the burgers, but there are many ways to use it. Save the extra for salads, sandwiches, or serve it as a dip for veggies and chips.

Description

Turkey burgers topped with a creamy yogurt-based dressing, fresh greens, and avocado. The recipe for the dressing makes more than you will need so save the extra for salads, sandwiches, or more turkey burgers later in the week. The dressing is adapted from Ina Garten’s Basil Green Goddess Dressing recipe


Ingredients

Scale

For the Herb Dressing

  • 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped basil
  • Juice from one lemon

For the Turkey Burgers

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 hamburger buns, toasted

For the Toppings

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 cup alfalfa sprouts

Instructions

  1. Make the Dressing: place all of the ingredients for the dressing in a blender. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator while you make the burgers. The dressing will be thin, but will thicken as it chills.
  2. Make the Burgers: Mix all of the ingredients for the burgers in a medium bowl until just combined. Divide the mixture into four parts. Form the meat into patties approximately 4 inches in diameter. Heat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Cook the patties for five minutes or so on each side. Check the temperature with a meat thermometer. It should read at least 165 degrees. Let the patties rest for a few minutes on a plate or cutting board.
  3. Build the Burgers: Top each burger with 1 tablespoon of the herb dressing followed by 1/4 of the avocado, 1/4 cup of the spinach and 1/4 cup of the sprouts.
