1 |
Combine white beans,
1 Tablespoon oil and garlic in a large bowl. Using a
fork, lightly smash the beans and mix with the oil and
garlic until blended. Add red pepper, breadcrumbs,
worcestershire sauce, egg and chives. Mix until blended.
Crumble the ground turkey and add it to the bowl, along
with ½ tsp. salt and a generous sprinkling of pepper.
Gently mix with a fork or your hands until just blended;
don't overmix or the burgers will be tough. |

Fill a medium bowl
with water, moisten your hands, and shape the meat into
patties about 3 inches in diameter and ¾-inches thick,
dipping your hands to keep the meat from sticking to
them. |
|
3 |
Heat the remaining 2
Tbs. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium- heat.
Cook the burgers until the bottoms are browned, 4-5
minutes. Flip the burgers and continue cooking until
they're firm to the touch and register 165°F on an
instant- read thermometer, another 5 to 8 minutes. Serve
immediately on the toasted bread. |
