Stuffed Chicken Burgers

Wednesday, February 6, 2008

This recipe is actually for stuffed turkey burgers, but we didn’t have any ground turkey on hand, so I used ground chicken. Hubby said these are his favorite non-beef burgers. The glaze really balanced out the flavors of the red peppers. I ate mine without a bun.

Stuffed Chicken burgers – original recipe from Lindsey’s Blog – makes 4
1 1/2 lbs. Ground Chicken Breast
1/2 packet Good Seasonings Italian Dressing Packet
4 oz. Goat Cheese Softened
1/4 cup Sundried Tomatoes (Chopped)
1/2 cup Roasted Red Peppers (Chopped)
Pepper
2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 tbsp. Cornstarch
Combine goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers and freshly ground pepper in a small bowl and set aside.

In a medium bowl mix together ground turkey and Good Seasonings. Shape into 8 equal sized patties. Scoop the cheese mixture onto four patties and top with remaining patties. Use for fingers, seal the edge of burgers closed.

Grill or broil for seven minutes per side or until no longer pink.

Balsamic Glaze
In a small skillet heat vinegar and cornstarch over low heat stirring occasionally until it turns think and syrupy.
Drizzle on top of cooked burgers.

Main Meal, Poultry

That sounds yummy! I don’t like goat cheese, but bet it would be good with feta too.

Sounds like a wonderful combo…except like Colleen, I’ve finally come to admit I don’t like goat cheese. Could use more cream cheese I suppose.

This looks delicious! I can’t wait to make it! Although the cheddar cheese is throwing me off though – did it really match in flavor? Do you think something like asiago would work?

I agree Colleen, the cheddar does seem out of place. In all honesty, you couldn’t taste it. The goat cheese / cream cheese mixture and caramelized onions and cranberries are all pretty prominent flavors. I’m sure any shredded cheese would be fine.

Lisa – I’d mix them into the Cranberry mixture or layer them between the cheese and the cranberry layers.
