Creating a delicious marinade and coming up with multiple ways to use it over a couple of dinners. My Turkey Burger al Pastor is a winner.
Begin by combining the ground turkey, al pastor sauce and seasonings. Mix well and form into burger aptties. Let marinate for 1 hour in the fridge.
While the burgers are in the fridge, combine the mayo and the al pastor sauce and mix well. Set aside.
Take the burgers out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature. Meanwhile, saute the shallots in a skillet. Season with adobo seasoning and pepper to taste. Set aside. At the same time, add the buns to a 325 degree oven and cook for 2 - 3 minutes. (You can smear some butter on them if you like.)
In a skillet on medium high heat, add a little vegetable oil and bring to smoking. Add in the burgers but do not overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary. Cook 5 - 7 minutes per side. In the final 2 minutes of cooking on the second side, add the sliced pepperjack cheese. Cover with a lid to get a really good melt.
To serve, place the bun on a plate and smear with some of the al pastor aoili. Top with the burger. Next add a slide or two of the tomatoes, followed by the avocado slices and top with the sauteed shallots.
Enjoy!
