Best Turkey Burger Recipe
Description
This recipe creates turkey burgers by mixing lean ground turkey with moistening and flavoring agents such as mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, combined with Worcestershire sauce and garlic for depth. The mixture is seasoned with kosher salt and black pepper and shaped into four large patties.
The patties are cooked in a skillet over medium heat with extra virgin olive oil, allowing them to brown evenly and cook through in about five minutes per side. The moderate cooking temperature helps retain juiciness and prevents drying out.
These turkey burgers can be eaten as is for a simple protein dish or assembled with optional toppings like cheddar cheese, tomato, onion (fresh or caramelized), pickles, lettuce, and various condiments such as ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise for a classic burger experience tailored to the eater’s preference.
Choosing a non-stick pan, heated to medium, aids in cooking and flipping the burgers without sticking, although many pans will work well if temperature is controlled.
