Skillet cheddar turkey burgers from What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking (page 205) by Caroline Chambers

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I have made these about a dozen times. We are obsessed. The best turkey burgers ever. I have yet to figure out why they are in the 45 minute section. I use extra sharp cheddar instead of sharp cheddar. This is definitely a household staple.

    I was actually in the mood to cook and went all out making homemade sourdough buns and homemade mayo. I like the cheese in the burger patties.

    Amazing when made on the griddle. Harder to grill as is because the patties are looser. We like to add chopped pickles to our sauce as well.

    These turned out really good, BUT I added panko to firm up the patties a bit since they didn't feel solid enough to me. Made in the air fryer and they were delish!

    I scaled this to 8 oz of meat (pork in place of the "not a house favourite" turkey) to make 4 sliders and we thought the additions of the cheese, mayo & scallions worked well. We also liked the hot sauce/lime/mayo sauce and I am now a big fan of the "lightly dressed, chopped lettuce burger topping" idea.

    I was a little skeptical of the scallions because I've only ever used them in asian recipes but this was actually really good. The cooking time given is accurate. Requires barely any effort since the recipe is basically just pouring everything in a bowl and then chopping some scallions. Per the last user's comment (and since I don't keep or use hot sauce anyway) I skipped the sauce recommended and just made a basic chipotle mayo with diced chipotle in adobo and the juice from a lime.

    Oh boy, these are good. I used 85/15 ground turkey and the only change I made to the burger mixture was to add only about 1/8 tsp of garlic powder since I don't like the taste of it much. This was perfect. I didn't taste the cheese in the burger but it added to the overall great flavor. I wasn't wild about the spicy mayo, even after adding a little sugar to take the edge off the sour hot sauce and lime flavors. Next time: chipotle mayo instead. I reheated a leftover burger wrapped in foil in the toaster oven for about 20 minutes and it was even better than the freshly made one.

    Another easy and delicious recipe! So good! We left off the bun. Used Gruyère instead of cheddar.

    These are really good and easy. Definitely going to make them again.

    LOVED these! Brilliant hack to add mayo to turkey burger. It was delicious and moist and loved the hot sauce iceberg topping.
