Tangy Meatloaf, Asian Banh Mi, and Greek Turkey Burgers

With game day just a few short weeks away, it’s time to find the perfect burger to serve. February 4th and the halftime show with Justin Timberlake will be here before you know it! When I got a new burger press several years ago I needed some great burger recipes to try out with my new adjustable burger press. Here are three mouthwatering recipes that I found and enjoy. They are anything but boring! Over the last few years, I have also interchanged the ingredients in these recipes with great success. So mix it up and enjoy these juicy and tasty burgers.

Tangy Meatloaf Burgers

Ingredients

1 small onion (1/2 sliced into rings, 1/2 diced)
1 pound meatloaf mix (ground pork, beef, and veal) or ground turkey
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika

1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup duck sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 potato buns or other rolls, split
Lettuce, sliced tomato, and pickle slices, for topping
Sweet potato chips, for serving (optional)

Directions

Preheat a grill to medium-high.
Soak the onion rings in a bowl of cold water.
Meanwhile, combine the meatloaf mix with the diced onion, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, paprika, 1 tablespoon each ketchup and duck sauce, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Using the Bellemain Adjustable Burger Press form into 4 1-inch-thick patties; make an indentation in the center of each.
Brush the patties with the olive oil and grill until marked on the bottom, about 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the remaining ketchup and duck sauce in a small bowl for brushing; set aside a few tablespoons. Turn the patties, brush with the ketchup mixture and continue grilling until cooked through, about 5 more minutes. Toast the buns, if desired.
Spread the buns with the reserved ketchup mixture. Drain the onion rings. Serve the patties on the buns; top with the onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Serve with sweet potato chips, if desired.
