BURGER INTERNAL TEMPERATURE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut the red onion into ½-inch thick round slices, keeping the circles of the onion intact. Set aside. Combine the bison, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper a large bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly to combine. Divide the mixture into four even portions, about 8 ounces each. Pat together into a ball (but not too tightly), then press into a patty, about 1-inch thick. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl to coat the pan. Place the onion slices in the pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Place the bison patties in the skillet and sear until golden, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the internal temperature of the burger reaches 130 to 135˚ (for medium-rare), 3 to 4 minutes more. If you like cheese on your burgers, add it during the last minute of cooking, then cover to melt.  Serve the burgers immediately on toasted buns with seared red onion rings, pickles, and BBQ sauce.
  

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, seasoned salt, and black pepper.  Mix gently to combine well.  Divide the mixture into 6 even portions (about 6 ounces each).  Pat together into a tight ball, then press into a patty, ¾-inch thick. On the stovetop: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan. Place the patties in the skillet and let cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the internal temperature of the turkey burger reaches 165˚, about 5 more minutes.  If you like cheese on your burgers, add it during the last minute of cooking, then cover to melt. Alternatively cook on the grill: Preheat your grill over medium-high heat, 400 to 425˚. Oil the grill grates. Place the patties on the grill over direct heat. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, covered, or until the internal temperature reads 165˚. If you like cheese on your burgers, add during the last minute of cooking, then cover to melt. Serve immediately on toasted buns with whatever toppings you like!
