Applegate Organics Organic Turkey Burgers
What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from ground turkey. They are crafted with organic ingredients, meaning the turkeys were raised without antibiotics or added hormones and were fed an organic diet. The burgers are typically seasoned simply to highlight the natural flavor of the turkey.
How people cook with it
Turkey burgers are a versatile option for quick weeknight dinners or casual weekend barbecues. They can be served in many ways, similar to beef burgers.
- Serve on a bun with toppings
- Crumble into salads
- Add to pasta dishes
- Grill for outdoor meals
To cook, you can grill, pan-fry, or bake these turkey burgers. For grilling, cook over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). When pan-frying, heat a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook for a similar amount of time, flipping halfway through. Baking is also an option; place on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping once. Ensure they are cooked through before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to beef burgers, turkey burgers are generally leaner and have a milder flavor profile. This makes them a good base for a wide variety of seasonings and toppings, as they do not overpower other ingredients. The texture can also be slightly softer than beef.
How to keep the rest
Keep these frozen turkey burgers in the freezer until ready to use. Once thawed, they should be cooked within a day or two and stored in the refrigerator. Do not refreeze once thawed. Proper refrigeration maintains their quality and safety.
