Here’s the Quick Take recipe I prepared Friday on WKYT-TV’s 27 Newsfirst at Noon. My cooking segment airs between 12:35 and 12:40 p.m. Fridays on WKYT, then becomes available on Kentucky.com at 1 p.m.
Turkey burgers with fresh salsa
Salsa:
12 cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup cooked fresh corn, or thawed frozen corn kernels
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons olive oil
Burgers:
1 pound ground turkey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
½ small red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 tablespoon creole spice mix
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
To make the salsa: Toss tomatoes with salt, and drain in a colander for 15 minutes. Combine tomatoes, corn, lime juice, garlic, cilantro and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and toss well.
To prepare the burgers: Place all ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix gently with hands and form into 4 burgers. Grill burgers over medium heat or cook in non-stick skillet 4 to 6 minutes per side or until cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees). Top with salsa.
