Meal Deal
This week, we're keeping it classic with a backyard BBQ favorite: juicy turkey burgers paired with grilled corn on the cob and fresh watermelon. This meal is incredibly simple to prepare, uses fantastic seasonal deals, and is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. By shopping the sales at Fred Meyer, you can pull together this quintessential summer dinner for a family of four for right around $5 per person.
Grilled Turkey Burgers with Sweet Corn & Watermelon
Yields: 4 servings | Cost: About 19.58 total (About $4.90 per serving) | Time: About 30 minutes
Featuring deals from Fred Meyer through Sept. 2.
Ingredients
1 lb. Jennie-O 93% lean ground turkey
1 whole seedless watermelon
4 ears of sweet corn
1 package hamburger buns
1 head of green cabbage for slaw (or Kroger bagged slaw)
Pantry staples for the burgers: 1 egg, ½ cup breadcrumbs, 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp. Dijon mustard, salt, pepper
Pantry staples for the slaw: Mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Burgers: In a medium bowl, gently mix the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.
Make the Slaw & Slice the Watermelon: Thinly slice the cabbage and toss with mayonnaise (to taste), a splash of vinegar, a pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Slice the watermelon into wedges for easy serving.
Prepare the Grill & Corn: Heat your grill to medium-high. While it heats, shuck the corn. You can grill it directly on the grates or wrap it in foil with a little butter and salt.
Grill: Place the turkey patties and corn on the grill. Cook the burgers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred. During the last minute of cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill, cut-side down.
Serve: Assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings and serve immediately with the grilled corn, fresh coleslaw, and a juicy slice of watermelon.
Tips
Don't Overcook the Turkey: The key to a juicy turkey burger is to not overcook it. Use a meat thermometer to pull the patties off the heat as soon as they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Also, avoid the temptation to press down on the burgers with a spatula while they cook, as this squeezes out the juices.
Don't Overmix: When combining the ingredients for the patties, mix gently with your hands only until everything is incorporated. Overworking the ground turkey will result in dense, tough burgers.
Protein Swaps: This recipe works beautifully with ground beef. You can find 80/20 ground beef on sale for $3.99/lb at Albertsons/Safeway this week. For a meatless option, substitute with plant-based patties, like the Impossible Burger patties on sale at Grocery Outlet for $3.99 a pack..
