Juicy Turkey Burgers with Sautéed Tomatoes, Basil and Ricotta
1-pound ground turkey meat, preferably dark meat
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups loosely packed cilantro leaves and fine stems, roughly chopped
3 medium cloves garlic, minced or grated with a Microplane
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
2 cups tomatoes, diced
Pinch of dried red chili flakes
1/2-cup fresh ricotta
½ cup loosely packed basil leaves
4 burger buns, toasted
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the turkey, salt, pepper, cilantro, and garlic, being careful not to overwork it, until just combined. Form into 4 loosely packed patties. Heat the oil in large skillet over medium heat until lightly smoking. Add the patties and cook until browned and crispy, about 6 minutes per side. Let rest.
Meanwhile, pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan and heat over medium heat until shimmering. Add shallots and a pinch of salt and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and chili flakes, stirring often, until tomatoes break down and soften, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon tomato mixture on the bottom bun halves, top with burger patties and a dollop of ricotta. Top with whole basil leaves and freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately

Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil.
Place pecans on prepared baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn fast. Transfer nuts to cutting board and chop coarsely. Set aside.
Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Lay the bacon strips out flat on the same foil-lined baking sheet, leaving space in between so they don’t overlap. Roast for until bacon is crisp, 12 to 20 minutes, rotating half way (cooking time will depend on thickness of bacon). Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels; pour rendered bacon fat into a small dish and discard aluminum foil. When bacon is cool, finely chop.
Increase oven temperature to 425°F. Line baking sheet with fresh aluminum foil. Toss Brussels sprouts with rendered bacon fat, olive oil, salt, and pepper, directly on baking sheet. Roast, stirring midway through to promote even browning, until Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and maple syrup and toss to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning then transfer to serving dish. Right before serving, top with chopped pecans and bacon. Serve hot or room temperature.
