Ingredients
Étouffée Relish
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium red onion about 2 cups, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper about 1 ½ cups, diced
- 1 small yellow bell pepper about ¾ cup, diced
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 large garlic cloves minced
Creamy Cajun Sauce
- 3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce to taste
Burgers
- 4 Jennie-O 1/3 lb. Seasoned Turkey Burgers frozen
- 4 onion buns halved
- Étouffée Relish
- Creamy Cajun Sauce
- 4 leaves butter lettuce
Instructions
Make the Étouffée Relish
- In a heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the butter and olive oil together over medium-low heat.
- When the butter has completely melted, add the onion and bell peppers.
- Season with salt and the red pepper flakes.
- Cook low and slow for 35-45 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened significantly and can be easily smeared on a slice of bread or a burger. (It’s the consistency that you’re looking for here! We want ‘em soft, but not indistinguishable.)
- When the relish is done, remove from the heat, and set aside.
Make the Creamy Cajun Sauce
- In a bowl, combine the mustard and mayonnaise.
- Taste the sauce, then add 1-2 teaspoons of the hot sauce to taste. (Do this slowly so you don’t singe your tastebuds.)
- Set aside for later.
Cook and Assemble the Burgers
- Heat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Place the frozen Jennie-O burgers onto the preheated grill, a few inches from the heating source. Cook for 9-10 minutes on each side, turning twice, until the internal temperature of the burgers reads 165°F.
- While the burgers cook, toast the onion buns on the grill, too, just enough to have grill marks on the bread, then remove.
- Dollop some of the sauce onto the bottoms of the buns, then add a leaf of butter lettuce. Set aside for when the burgers have finished.
- Once the burgers have cooked, remove from the heat using a spatula.
- Transfer the cooked burgers on top of the prepared buns.
- Smear Étouffée Relish on top of the burgers, then top with more sauce and the top of the bun.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy!
Notes
- If you want these burgers to be dairy free, swap the unsalted butter in the relish for the same amount of olive oil, bringing the total to FOUR tablespoons olive oil.
