Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Turkey Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, sage, crushed juniper berries, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the turkey patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    On a bun or plate, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the turkey patty with melted cheddar. Top with sliced red onions and a generous dollop of the lemon and herb aioli. Serve immediately.
