Ingredients
Jalapeno Jam:
2 cups canned sliced jalapenos (with the juice)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange marmalade
Turkey Burgers:
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 brioche buns
6 leaves green leaf lettuce
6 slices beefsteak tomato
6 slices red onion
12 slices Hass avocado
Directions
- For the jalapeno jam: In a small saucepot, combine the jalapenos, sugar and marmalade and bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer until the liquid reduces to a glaze, about 1 hour.
- For the turkey burgers: In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt and pepper and mix well. Form the mixture into 6 patties.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add 3 of the patties to the pan and cook until the first sides are seared, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the burgers are cooked completely through, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon grapeseed oil and the other 3 burgers.
- Butter each of the buns on both sides and toast them in the hot skillet until golden brown.
- Dress each of the bottom halves of the buns with lettuce, tomato, red onion and avocado. Place a burger on top of each dressed bun and top with 2 tablespoons of the jalapeno jam. Finish with a bun top.
