Amazing turkey burgers

Ingredients:

• 0.9 kg ground turkey (various meats)
• 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh chives
• 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 1/4 cup shallots, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp coarse salt
• 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 homemade or store-bought baked tomato halves
• 1 bunch watercress, washed and stems trimmed
• 0.5 cups homemade or store-bought ranch dressing
• Special equipment: 4 large wooden skewers

Preparation:

1. Place the green onions in a blender jar and add the olive oil. Blend until smooth.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the green onion puree, ground turkey, shallots, mustard, salt, and pepper. Using clean hands, mix everything together until evenly distributed. Form the mixture into 4 large burger patties, place on a tray, and refrigerate.
3. On a hot grill or in a hot skillet, sear the patties on each side, then reduce the heat or move the patties to the cooler side of the grill and continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes. To check for doneness, pierce the patties with a skewer, press, and watch for clear juices. Alternatively, insert a meat thermometer into the patty. The temperature should read 145°F (65°C).
4. Cut the buns in half and toast them, then place a patty on each bottom half, a piece of baked tomato, a little watercress, and a drizzle of ranch dressing. Top with the top halves of the buns and pierce with a wooden skewer!
