    Gourmet Turkey Burger with goats cheese, sundries tomatoes and caramelized onions

    Gourmet Turkey Burgers: A bold statement, but these feisty burgers live up to the name! They have red pepper flakes inside and are topped with my favorite gourmet trifecta: goat’s cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and caramelized onions.

    Oh! And it’s all sandwiched in a perfect crusty French baguette. Gourmet indeed!

    We’ve all suffered through a dry, tasteless turkey burger vowing never to eat another one ever again with each bite. But these are worthy of breaking that vow.

    These gourmet turkey burgers are incredibly juicy with just the right amount of kick to bring the excitement to the table. The flavors blend seamlessly together: the spice from the burger offsets the tangy goat’s cheese and the sweet caramelized onions.

    And sun-dried tomatoes are just for fun. And just for me because sun-dried tomatoes make me smile.  🙂

    I’ve made these turkey burgers several times with different toppings and it’s become an easy weeknight staple, but with the goat’s cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and caramelized onions it becomes a gourmet treat worthy of date night or company.

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 lb ground turkey
    • 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
    • 6 oz Goat cheese
    • 6 sundried tomatoes (sliced)
    • Caramelized onions (Recipe for homemade here)
    • Arugula
    • ½ French Baguette ( or another crusty bread)

    Instructions
     

    • Mix together ground turkey, salt, pepper, and red pepper. Form into 4 equal patties. Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium high heat until searing hot. Brush grill pan or grates with olive oil right before adding the burgers.
    • Cook the burgers until a thermometer read 165° or the insides are no longer pink. This cook time will depend on how thick you form your patties. Mine took approximately 12 minutes.
    • While the burgers cook prepare your toppings and slice the baguette into 4 pieces and cut each in half. Smear each piece of the baguette with goat’s cheese to your taste.
    • Top with a burger, caramelized onions, sundried tomatoes and arugula. Enjoy!

      Looks delicious. So these are the turkey burgers you were making those caramelized onions for that one time! I take it that your caramelized onions have been perfectly mastered now.

      When we make patties for family meal at work, this is how we eat them too, on baguettes....since our bakery side sells baguettes and we use the leftovers for family meals and croutons or whatever.

        Indeed it was 🙂 I would eat my finger on a baguette...not really, that's gross, but you get the idea!

        The idea was to have some left overs of this baguette for French onion soup but we ate it all!

        I'm so glad you liked them! Isn't it funny how they feel so chic? - your kitchen instantly became Chez Josephine! 😉

        Did you grill them inside or outside?

            No judgement here! I do all my grilling inside because I can't figure out the communal gas grills!

      This looks great! Usually turkey burgers I make fall a bit short in my opinion, but your version seems jam packed with flavor! I love the addition of the sun dried tomatoes, such a good idea!

      Love all that goat cheese and the red pepper flakes. I have to stop myself from sprinkling red pepper flakes on everything! I love the way they taste and they are just so pretty 🙂
