Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey 93% lean
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 whole wheat burger buns optional
  • Lettuce, tomato, onion for serving optional

Equipment

  • Grill or large skillet
  • Meat thermometer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
  3. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Serve the turkey burgers on the buns with lettuce, tomato, and onion, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For extra moisture, you can add finely chopped mushrooms or grated zucchini to the mix.
• Avoid pressing down on the burgers while cooking to retain juices.
• Serve with a side of sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
Food Safety:
• Ensure burgers reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to kill harmful bacteria.
• Refrigerate leftovers promptly and consume within 3-4 days.
