Turkey Burgers with Mustard-Dill Slaw
Many bakeries are now creating great-tasting gluten-free buns, so you don’t need to give up burgers if you can’t eat gluten. Or, for an unexpected presentation, place the burgers atop mashed potatoes mixed with a big handful of fresh dill.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup (3 fl. oz./80 ml) gluten-free mayonnaise
- 5 Tbs. (2 1/2 oz./75 g) gluten-free Dijon mustard
- 5 Tbs. (3/4 oz./20 g) minced fresh dill
- 1 tsp. plus 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 bag (8 oz./250 g) prepared coleslaw mix
- 3 green onions, minced
- Kosher salt, to taste, plus 3/4 tsp.
- 1 1/4 lb. (20 oz./625 g) ground turkey, preferably dark meat
- Olive oil for cooking
- 4 gluten-free buns, toasted, or mashed potatoes mixed with
2 Tbs. chopped fresh dill
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 3 Tbs. of the mustard, 2 Tbs. of the dill and the 1 tsp. lemon juice to make a sauce. Season with pepper. In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) of the sauce, the 1 Tbs. lemon juice and one-third of the green onions and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
In another large bowl, combine the ground turkey, the remaining 2 Tbs. mustard, 3 Tbs. dill, the remaining green onions, the 3/4 tsp. salt and a generous amount of pepper. Mix gently. Form the mixture into 4 patties, each about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick. Using your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each patty.
Heat a large fry pan over medium heat and brush with olive oil. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides and cooked through in the center, about 5 minutes per side.
Place the bun bottoms on 4 plates or spoon the potatoes in the center of 4 warmed plates. Top each with a patty and a spoonful of sauce. Spoon the coleslaw on top of each patty or alongside the potatoes, place the bun top, if using, over the slaw and serve immediately. Serves 4.
