Sara Fosters Casual Cooking - what makes this book something of a gem, however, is the way Foster weaves her satchel full of recipes for dips, vinaigrettes, pasta sauces, purees - all fresh, herb-y and rather stunning , throughout most of the chapters! :) Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey |
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb |
3 tablespoons mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as texas pete or 1 tablespoon tabasco sauce |
2 scallions, minced (white and green parts) |
4 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced |
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus extra to taste |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus extra to taste |
4 whole wheat hamburger buns, lightly toasted |
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional) |
sweet pickle, slices |
1 tomato, cored and sliced |
2 cups shredded green cabbage |
1 cup loosely packed arugula |
10 basil leaves, thinly sliced |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
sea salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill. (Or just before you're ready to cook the burgers, heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.).
2. Combine the turkey, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, scallions, basil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and work the mixture with your hands just to mix. (Do not overmix or the burgers will be tough.)
3. Form the meat mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.
4. Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper and grill them for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until they're just done.
5. Remove the patties to a platter, cover them loosely with foil to keep warm, and set them aside to rest for about 5 minutes.
6. To assemble the burgers, lay a few pickle slices and one tomato slice on the bottom of each bun and place the burgers on top.
7. Serve with mustard mayonnaise & the Spicy Cole Slaw, on the side.
8. SPICY COLE SLAW.
9. Combine the cabbage, arugula, and basil in a large bowl, and refrigerate.
10. Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, sugar, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl.
11. Just before serving, pour the dressing over cabbage, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss gently to coat.
