Barbecue Turkey Burgers With Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

1 English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
4 radishes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound ground turkey
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce, plus extra for serving
4 slices Cheddar (4 ounces)
4 hamburger buns, toasted
lettuce and potato chips, for serving

 

Directions

Mix together the cucumber, radishes, lemon juice, dill, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl.

In another bowl, gently add in the turkey, barbecue sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper with your hands until just combined.

Shape the turkey mixture into four ¾-inch patties. Use your fingers to make a shallow well in the top of each patty (this avoids overplumping during cooking).

Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties 4 to 6 minutes per side or until cooked through (and the center registers 165° F).

Top the burgers with the Cheddar, and cook, covered, until the Cheddar is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stack the lettuce, burgers, and additional barbecue sauce between the buns. Serve with the cucumber salad and potato chips.
