The Canned Ingredient That Lends Moisture And Flavor To Turkey Burgers
BY ELIZABETH OKOSUN
It might sound strange, but canned creamed corn can be a game-changing ingredient for juicy turkey burgers. This ingredient adds fat that the lean ground meat lacks.
Creamed corn is sweet corn mixed with cream, sugar, and butter. Turkey burgers can turn out dry and bland, but not so if you add extra richness and complex, slightly sweet flavor.
Simply put your ground turkey and creamed corn into a bowl and gently but thoroughly combine them using your hands. Mix in fresh parsley, minced garlic, and other seasonings.
Shape the mixture into loose patties, making sure not to overwork or compact them tightly. Set a skillet over medium heat and pour in plenty of olive oil to keep the patties moist.
Add the patties and flip them every few minutes until they reach an internal temp of 165 degrees Fahrenheit on a thermometer. Enjoy your juicy burgers with any toppings you please.
