Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey (preferably 93% lean, 7% fat)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or whole wheat)
- 1 egg (for binding)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
- 4 burger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, avocado, mayo, ketchup, or mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Step 2: Shape the Patties
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Use parchment paper between patties if stacking to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Preheat the Cooking Surface
Heat a griddle, skillet, or grill over medium heat. Add olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Cook the Turkey Burgers
Place the patties on the preheated surface and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing the burgers down while cooking to retain moisture.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve
Toast the burger buns if desired. Place the cooked turkey patty on the bottom bun and top with your favorite toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy!
