• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 4 Sandwiches
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground turkey
• 1⁄4 cup sour cream
• 4 scallions, chopped (both white and green parts)
• salt & fresh ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 slices muenster cheese
• 8 slices pumpernickel bread

directions

1. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of vegetable oil, about 2 tablespoons.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with the sour cream, scallions, salt and ground black pepper.
3. Using your hand, score the meat into four, then form four thin patties about half an inch thick out of each portion, adding them to the hot pan as you shape them. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. When finished cooking, remove the patties from the pan and wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
4. While the patties are cooking up, place 4 slices of bread on a clean work surface and butter one side of each piece. Return the pan that the patties were cooked in over medium heat and add in the remaining butter. Once melted, place the remaining unbuttered slices of bread in the pan, place one piece of cheese on each slice, a turkey patty, one more slice of cheese and cap each off with the four slices of buttered bread, butter side up.
5. Cook sandwiches in the pan until toasted and the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side.

We really loved this. I make a lot of different turkey burgers and wanted to try this with the sour cream, it really was a moist burger. I used what I had on hand, light rye bread from a local German bakery, green chile cheese and cheddar. I made one large patty which we grilled off, then I assembled in the fry pan for the melt. Just delicious! Thank you!

Just made this exactly as written and it was delicious! My husband, the red meat eater, had two!It was my first foray into ground turkey and I was impressed. I thought if you put some 1000 island dressing and sour kraut on it , it would almost taste like a Rueben.
