Description
Delicious turkey burgers that offer a lighter alternative to traditional beef burgers, packed with flavor and perfect for grilling.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- â…“ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix until just combined, careful not to overwork the mixture.
- Shape the mixture into 4 turkey burger patties, about ½ inch thick, and use your thumb to make a slight depression in the center of each patty. Place them on a parchment-lined plate.
- Freeze the patties for about 20 minutes, allowing them to firm up.
- If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high, clean the grates, and grease them well with oil. Grill the turkey burgers for a few minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
- For skillet cooking, heat canola oil in a nonstick griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until they’re browned and cooked through.
- Alternatively, bake the patties at 375 F for 25-30 minutes, then sear briefly on a hot pan for 2 minutes on each side.
- Serve the turkey burgers on the buns with your choice of condiments and toppings.
Notes
Use lean ground turkey for a healthier option; avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to maintain moisture.
