Turkey Meatloaf Burgers
Makes 6
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
2 roma tomatoes, diced (keep the seeds and juice)
4 cloves of garlic, minced or put through a press
1 1/4 lb of ground turkey
1/4 cup of tomato ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1/2 cup of sweet rice flour (mochiko) (NOTE - those who don't need dairy, egg and wheat free, substitute 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and 1 beaten egg for the rice flour)
1/4 cup of basil chopped or Italian parsley chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Topping
1/3 cup of tomato ketchup
1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar
6 slices of bacon, sliced in half
Instructions:
In a heavy saucepan, over medium heat, add olive oil, bell pepper and onion.
Cook until the vegetables have softened about 6 minutes.
Add chopped roma tomatoes and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook an additional 4 minutes until tomatoes have broken down a bit.
Set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 400. In a large mixing bowl (or your saucepan if it is completely cool) combine the bell pepper onion mixture with ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Combine well. Add ground turkey, sweet rice flour and basil.
Using your hands or a wooden spoon, combine until it is one uniform mixture.
Form meat mixture into six patties. Place patties onto a baking sheet, or if you want to drain off a bit more fat, on a rack on top of a cookie sheet.
Make the topping in a small bowl, mixing together balsamic vinegar and ketchup. Spoon and spread some on each burger.
Top each burger with two half bacon slices. Place into oven and cook for 30 minutes and the bacon is crispy.
Serve!
