I’m sure a lot of you are like me and don’t like heating up your kitchen during the summer. That means our grill gets quite the work out.
My family isn’t very adventurous, they like the tried and true staples like beef burgers or hot dogs, but me I like to experiment with different ingredients and flavors.
Red Gold sent me a variety of their premium canned tomatoes in order to create a summer grilling recipe and I could hardly decide what to make. With Red Gold Diced Tomatoes in varieties like Garlic & Olive Oil; Green Chilies; Basil, Garlic & Oregano, Chipotle and Lime Juice & Cilantro – the ideas and recipes they supplied were many.
What I decided to do was make their Italian Turkey Burger recipe and step it up just a notch by making it a Stuffed burger, because you know, more cheese is never a bad thing 😉
Italian Stuffed Turkey Burgers
Ingredients
20 oz. lean ground turkey
1 (14.5 ounce) can Red Gold Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano (can be substituted with Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes with Garlic & Olive Oil), drained very well
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup Italian Style bread crumbs
4 oz. of shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
1. Combine ground turkey and tomatoes, egg and bread crumbs in a bowl. Split into 8 equal portions.
2. Using a burger press or free forming, use one portion and form a bottom patty, add 1 oz. of cheese and then top and press together to form a full patty.
3. Place on grill and cook to desired temperature. 160 degrees for completely cooked burgers. Sprinkle on additional shredded cheese on top if desired.
