Colonel Honeymustard (Burger Friday)

This one kind of built itself over the week. I received some interesting cheese earlier, which is said to be best melted (so naturally my first though was to put it in a burger 🙂 ), I wanted to make a burger with honey-mustard sauce, so I had the most of the things decided early on, all that was left was the patty, which turned out to be turkey this time, and proved to be an excellent choice.

What you will need:

For the burger:

• 700 g packed turkey mince
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard seed
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1teaspoon majoram
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon rosemary
• 6 buns, sliced
• 6 smoked cheese dumplings
• a handful of iceberg salad, julienne cut

For the sauce:

• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• a pinch of salt
• a pinch of pepper
• 1.5 dl vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed  lemon juice
• 1 dl sour cream
• 1 dl cream
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 4 tablespoons mustard

How to make it:

1. Mix the mince with the spices in a bowl, cover and refrigerate for an hour
2. Mix the yolk, the dijon mustard, the salt, and the pepper in a mixing bowl
3. Add in the oil, pouring little portions at first, then a little bit braver after a while, but be sure to whisk it in continously
4. Add in the lemon jucie, and whisk it in as well. Congratulations, you are done with your home-made mayo 🙂
5. Add the creams to the mayo, mix it in
6. Add the honey and the mustard, mix it all together well, and put in the refrigerator
7. Heat your grillpan on high heat, toasting your bun halfs in the process
8. Heat your oven to 200 °C, place the cheese on a baking tin, and leave it to melt
9. Take the meat from the fridge, and form 6 patties, using a bit of oil, to make it easier to form them
10. Altering the heat between medium and low, grill your patties through well

The assembly:

1. Spread some sauce over the lower and upper half of the bun
2. Place a patty on the lower half
3. Top the patty with the cheese
4. Top with the salad
   
5. Place the top half on your burger and you are done
   

   Ready for conquest!
