Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat a large nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a large bowl mix the turkey with the onion, bell pepper, parsley, Worcestershire, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Fold in the chopped smoked Gouda. Score the meat with your hand into 4 sections. Form each section into a large patty 1 inch thick. Drizzle the patties with EVOO and cook for 6 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

    Step 2

    While the burgers cook, mix the watercress, shallot, and sour cream in a small bowl. Season the thick sauce with salt to taste.

    Step 3

    To serve, place 2 lettuce leaves on each slice of bread. Top with a burger. Top burgers with some sauce and serve with a few celery sticks and radishes on the side for munching (they’re good with the sauce, too).
