Contents of your meal kit:
ground turkey
tomatoes
corn
patty seasoning
bacon
red wine vinaigrette base
arugula
blue cheese
Cookware needed: mixing bowl, baking sheet, salad bowl
Finishing steps:
- Preheat your oven’s broiler (see note). Slice tomatoes in half. Rub corn with a little oil, sprinkle with salt & pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey with patty seasoning, and season generously with salt & pepper. Mix just enough to combine—overworking causes tough patties. Form meat into patties (see note), place on baking sheet along with bacon and corn. For easier clean up, line the baking sheet with foil.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler and keep a close eye on everything. Every oven is different, so adjust the rack position lower if things appear to be browning too quickly, or raise it up if it seems to be taking too long.
- Turn corn occasionally, it should be done in 5-7 minutes.
- Burgers should be turned once during cooking, and will likely take about 3-7 minutes per side.
- Bacon should also be turned once during cooking, and will probably take 3-4 minutes per side. When bacon is done drain on a paper towel and then chop or crumble.
- Pour vinaigrette base into the bottom of your salad bowl and add an equal amount of olive oil. Whisk or mix with a fork to combine. If this looks like too much dressing, remove some before adding the arugula and tomatoes. Crumble blue cheese into bowl, toss gently and season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Divide salad between plates, top with turkey patties and crumbled bacon and serve corn on the side.
Notes:
- Too hot in the kitchen? Use an outdoor grill to prepare the entire meal.
- Burger patties tend to puff up in the middle as they are cooking, pushing an indent into the middle with your thumb will prevent this and help the patties cook more evenly.
