I’m always on the lookout for a good burger recipe that uses proteins other than beef. I was sent the following recipe for a turkey burger with a kick, and since it’s by Ariane Duarte, Executive Chef of award-winning CulinAriane restaurant in Montclair, NJ and finalist on Bravo’s Top Chef, I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. Chef Duarte has the following tip for this burger: “I created this recipe using Finlandia cheese due to the incredible robust flavor and great melting quality”.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 or 2 jalapeño peppers, small dice (depending on how much heat you like)
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. chopped garlic
- 1 small onion, diced
- Salt & pepper
- 12 slices Finlandia Swiss or Light Swiss Cheese
- 6 burger buns of your choice
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Divide equally into 6 balls. Form into patties.
- Grill on high heat for four minutes on one side, then flip and cook three to four minutes on the second sider.
- Add two slices of Finlandia Swiss and allow to melt.
- Place the cheesy patties on then bun and serve with preferred condiments.
Serves 6.
Finlandia cheeses are available in the deli department of local supermarket chains and at high-quality neighborhood delis.
