Butterball Cheddar Turkey Burgers
What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from ground turkey and blended with cheddar cheese. They are designed for convenient cooking and offer a savory flavor profile. The inclusion of cheese within the patty adds moisture and a distinct taste. They come frozen, ready to be cooked for a quick meal.
How people cook with it
These turkey burgers are a versatile option for a quick and satisfying meal. They can be prepared in various ways to suit different preferences.
- Grilled for a smoky flavor
- Pan-fried for a quick weeknight dinner
- Baked for hands-off cooking
- Added to sandwiches or served over salads
To cook, remove the patties from their packaging. They can be grilled over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or pan-fried in a skillet with a little oil over medium-high heat for a similar duration. Baking in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, is another option. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain turkey burgers, these patties have cheddar cheese mixed directly into the meat. This results in a richer, more savory taste and a moister texture. The cheese also helps to bind the patty, making it less likely to crumble during cooking compared to some unseasoned ground turkey.
How to keep the rest
Keep these patties frozen until ready to use. Once thawed, they should be cooked within a day or two. Store any leftover cooked patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days.
