Juicy Turkey Burgers with Oven Fries

Turkey burgers that are actually juicy, thanks to grated onion, celery and Worcestershire mixed in, topped with cheddar on soft buns and served with crispy seasoned oven fries.

Ingredients

• 1¼ lb ground turkey
• 1 large egg
• ⅓ cup panko
• ½ small onion, grated
• 1 rib celery, finely chopped
• 4 brioche buns
• 4 slices cheddar
• 1 romaine heart, leaves
• 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
• 1½ lb russet potatoes, cut in wedges

From your pantry: 3 tbsp oil, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, ketchup and mustard to serve.

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the potato wedges with 2 tbsp oil, the smoked paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder and ½ tsp salt. Roast on a sheet pan, flipping once, until crisp and golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
2. Mix the egg, panko, grated onion, celery, Worcestershire, oregano, remaining garlic powder, ¾ tsp salt and the pepper. Add the turkey and mix gently with your hands.
3. Shape into 4 patties about ½ inch thick and press a shallow dimple in the center of each.
4. Cook in the remaining oil in a large skillet or on a grill over medium heat until 165°F inside, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Lay cheddar on top for the last minute and cover to melt.
5. Toast the buns and build the burgers with lettuce and tomato. Serve with the fries, ketchup and mustard.

Tip: Wet your hands before shaping the patties. Turkey is sticky, and damp hands keep it from clinging so you don't have to overwork it.
