Ingredients
- 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
- 1/4 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
- 1/4 cup dried onion flakes
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Olive oil spray
- 4 burger buns
- Optional for Serving:
- Cheese
- Sliced tomato
- Sliced red onion
- Iceberg lettuce
- Sliced pickles
- Ketchup and mustard
- Caramelized onions
- Avocado
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, dried onion flakes, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and salt.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, pressing them down slightly so they’re about 1/2 inch thick, ensuring they cook evenly.
- To cook on the stove: Heat a nonstick skillet on medium-low heat and lightly spray with oil. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and fully cooked, checking the bottom to prevent burning.
- While cooking, prepare the buns and toppings (toast buns if desired).
- When burgers are done, place them on the buns and top with your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.
- For grilling: Preheat the grill and clean well, then spray with oil. Grill burgers on medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Air Fryer Option: Air fry the patties at 400°F for 4-5 minutes on each side.
Notes
- Adjust seasonings to taste.
- For a healthier alternative, use lettuce wraps instead of buns.
- Make sure to check the internal temperature of the burgers to ensure they’re fully cooked (165°F).
- These burgers are great for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
