Ingredients
Paprika Aioli:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon Hungarian hot paprika
Turkey Cornucopia Burger:
- 1/2 pound ground dark meat turkey
- 1/2 pound ground white meat turkey
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 3 heaping tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon Hungarian hot paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried habanero powder
- 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
- Pinch salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 large egg
- Olive oil, as needed
- 4 slices provolone
- 4 organic onion buns
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- Alfalfa sprouts, as needed
Directions
Chefs Note: All the ingredients should be purchased organic when possible.
Aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, mustard and paprika in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Burger:
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Combine the ground turkey, onion, carrot, bell pepper, Parmesan and all of the seasonings in a large bowl. Lightly whisk the egg separately and then fold it in to the meat mixture. Form the turkey into patties. Lightly brush grill grates with olive oil, then arrange the patties on the grill and firmly close the grills lid. Cook while making sure the patties obtain grill marks, about 6 to 8 minutes. Gently flip each burger over and continue grilling. Add the provolone after 3 minutes and shut the lid once more to melt the cheese, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the patties from heat and keep them warm by casually tenting them in foil. Reduce the grills heat to medium, add another brush of olive oil and arrange the buns on grill, toasting them until they are heated through and slightly crispy, about 2 minutes. Assemble the burgers by spreading the Paprika Aioli onto the bottom halves of the buns, and topping it with the meat patties. Garnish with a slice of avocado, a slice of tomato and a helping of alfalfa sprouts. Cover with the bun tops and enjoy!

We saw this episode this week and thought, "we have try this". So today we went and did just that. I just held back on adding the habanero powder because we have two girls who might find that too spicy. These burgers were so good, they put the other two regular beff patties we made to shame. Absolutely delicious, especially for one of the girls who is a picky eater. We did the steak fries on the grill and Bobby Flay's Sangrua too. It was so good, I have renamed it Flay-vorite Sangria!!! All the sauces and spreads tat go with recipes also were delicious. My boyfriend said it would have been a shame to put ketchup on those potatoes. Yummy!!!

I saw a rerun of this episode and I had to try these burgers. I'm glad I did! I didn't have the hot paprika, so I used regular paprika and I think I missed the extra spice. Next time I might actually increase the spices I use, because I was missing the kick. Overall, delicious recipe and really healthy!

I was excited about all the vegetables and spices, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me or my son. It didn't taste much like turkey at all, there were so many other ingredients.
