Homemade Frozen Turkey Burgers step by step
- MAKE THE PATTIES....
- Layer 2 cookie sheets with wax or parchment paper. Set aside..
- Mince veggies in the "Additives" section very finely (use a mini chopper or food processor if available) Total yield should be about 3/4 cup..
- Combine all burger mix ingredients with minced veggies in a large bowl. Mix well..
- Lay mixture on a smooth cutting board in a square or rectangle, divide into even sections depending on the size of your patties. (8-10).
- Roll each divided section into a ball then flatten into a burger shaped pattie..
- Coat patties lightly in flour (optional step), place on wax paper not touching. Freeze..
- Once fully frozen (overnight), cut the paper so each pattie has its own square. Store in a plastic freezer bag or other airtight container in the freezer..
- READY TO COOK?!!.
- When ready to cook, take burger(s) out of freezer, set aside. Prepare bun and fixins..
- Heat nonstick skillet on medium with a tiny bit of oil. Carefully place frozen burger into pan. Sear for 1-2 min each side, reduce heat to med-low. Cook another 6-7 minutes each side, gently press pattie occasionally to flatten and expel excess liquid..
- Remove pattie to a plate and allow to cool for a minute, then pop onto the waiting bun with fixins. Press gently to squish to a manageable size that will fit your chompers, then let the challenge begin! It's a practiced art form to eat a tall burger, and be ready for fallout if you used alot of fixins!!.
- Note: Can be cooked from frozen on a grillpress like a George Foreman (about 10 to 12 mins depending on grill, follow manufacturer cooking recommendations. Flip once 90° turn after 5 min for grid marks). And for you low carbers, serve bunless atop a bed of mixed baby greens and choice of toppers..
