Savory Turkey and Quinoa Baked Burgers: A Delicious Twist

    1 hrs 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of refreshing water
  • ½ cup of nutritious quinoa
  • A drizzle of flavorful olive oil, about 1 tablespoon
  • Finely chopped onions for a burst of aroma
  • Finely diced garlic cloves for added zest
  • ½ cup of Worcestershire sauce, divided for balance
  • 2 eggs to bind the ingredients together
  • 2 tablespoons of delectable barbeque sauce, like the renowned Sweet Baby Ray's®
  • A splash of invigorating hot pepper sauce, around 2 tablespoons
  • Seasoned salt, like the classic LAWRY'S®, for a burst of flavor
  • Ground black pepper, about 2 teaspoons for an added kick
  • 2 pounds of lean ground turkey for a wholesome protein source
  • A touch of sweetness with 3 tablespoons of brown sugar

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), then prepare a glass baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Begin by boiling water and quinoa in a saucepan until the quinoa becomes tender, which usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes. Once cooked, allow it to cool down.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil and sauté onion until it turns translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until it becomes fragrant, approximately 1 minute.

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix the cooked quinoa, onion mixture, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, barbeque sauce, hot sauce, seasoned salt, and black pepper, blending everything together smoothly. Then, incorporate the ground turkey into the mixture, ensuring it's well combined. Shape the mixture into patties and place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Prepare a paste by mixing the remaining Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar in a bowl. Spread this paste on top of the patties before baking.

Step 6

Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until they are thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your savory turkey and quinoa baked burgers in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out.
  2. 2. For a convenient grab-and-go option, store individual burgers in reusable silicone bags or portioned containers for easy access.
