Description
A delicious and easy recipe for turkey burgers that are juicy and flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1½ tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 4 hamburger buns
- Condiments: ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce
- Toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, avocado, beef, sautéed mushrooms, jalapeños
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix just until combined (do not overmix).
- Form into 4 patties, about ½ inch thick. Press a thumb-sized depression in the center of each patty. Place on a parchment-lined plate.
- Freeze for 20 minutes to help them hold their shape on the grill.
- Preheat and grease grill to medium-high. Grill patties 4–5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Alternatively, heat a nonstick pan or griddle with oil over medium-high heat. Cook 4–5 minutes per side.
- Or bake at 375°F for 25–30 minutes, then sear in a hot pan 2 minutes per side.
- Place patties on buns and add your favorite condiments and toppings.
Notes
- Use a well-greased nonstick pan for best results.
- Wrap patties in Boston bib lettuce for a low-carb option.
- Add a diced jalapeño to the mixture for a spicy burger.
- Mix ¾ cup blue cheese crumbles into patties and top with sautéed onions for a Black & Bleu burger.
- Substitute almond flour for breadcrumbs and use gluten-free buns for a gluten-free option.
- Form raw patties and refrigerate up to 1 day before cooking.
- Flash freeze patties for 1 hour, then layer in a freezer-safe bag with parchment paper. Freeze up to 3 months. Cook from frozen or thaw before cooking.
