Black Olive Turkey Burgers are a must have this summer! Grilling burgers during the summer can get boring fast so mix it up with our awesome burger recipes!
I found some ground turkey at Bruno’s last week on sale B1G1. I came across this recipe last week and though it sounded different and yummy. I was a little skeptical, though. I love all of the main flavors, but combined I wasn’t so sure. I tweaked the original recipe a bit and added my little twist and was very happy with the result! The cumin gave it a nice smokey flavor. Clay said, “What’s in here that tastes like chili?” After I had finished laughing, I told him it was cumin. He said he liked it; he just wanted to know what it was 🙂 The cumin could be left out, and the burgers would still be tasty. They were moist and so flavorful. I’m glad I stocked up on the ground turkey because I’m going to have to throw this in the rotation again. Maybe for company next time. A healthy burger? Yes, there is such a thing!
Black Olive Turkey Burgers Recipe:
Black Olive Turkey Burgers Ingredients:
Makes 3 burgers:
1 lb. ground turkey
1/2 cup coarsely chopped black olives
1/4 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (can be adjusted down to your taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
olive oil
6 slices turkey bacon, crisped
3 sandwich thins
condiments
How To Make Black Olive Turkey Burgers:
1. Combine the turkey, olives, onion, parsley, cumin, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce in a mixing bowl and mix until well incorporated.
2. Shape into 3 burgers.
3. Heat the grill over low heat.
4. Drizzle the patties with olive oil before placing them on the grill. This was supposed to prevent them from sticking, but mine still stuck pretty bad 🙂
5. Grill for about 7-8 minutes on the first side. Flip, and grill another 4-5 minute on the second side, or until cooked through.
6. Serve on whole grain sandwich thins with mayo, mustard, 2 slices of turkey bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Yummy-yum-yum!
Enjoy!
