Snug Harbor Wine

Turkey Burgers

Serves 4

What to Pair With

If your first instinct is to enjoy a beer with this burger, let me suggest a wine alternative. We are featuring Meinklang Mulatschak orange wine from Austria that just might remind you of a sour beer. This white wine gets extra skin contact, turning the color more orange, and is rested on the lees to create a creamy mouthfeel. The wine has lots of citrus and peach notes, making for a refreshing experience finished with the slightest amount of tannin. Give it a try!

If you like burgers but are looking for a healthier option, try these burgers made with ground turkey. Even if turkey isn’t your thing, I promise they are juicy and flavorful and with your toppings, they taste almost like the real thing! Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey (preferably 85-90% lean)
1 cup cooked spinach (4 cups fresh), you can also thaw 1 cup frozen spinach
3 tbsp ketchup
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
If using fresh spinach, cook first, cool and squeeze out liquid.
In a large bowl mix all of the ingredients.
Form into patties and cook over medium heat for 5 min.
Flip and cook another 5 min.
If they are extra thick, place in oven for 5 min.
Serve with your favorite burger toppings.

Special sauce:
Mix 2 tbsp ketchup, 2 tsp mayonaise, 1 tsp dijon mustard, a splash of pickle juice or lemon juice, and a pinch of both salt and pepper.
