Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ pound ground turkey breast
- ½ cup grated gruyere cheese
- 3 green onions finely chopped
- ¼ cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the ground turkey, gruyere cheese, green onions, bread crumbs, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Using a fork rather than your hands to mix everything together will help keep the mixture from becoming too compressed.
- Form into four patties.
- Cook the patties over medium-high heat (either outdoors on a gas or charcoal grill, on a grill pan, or in a saute pan) for approximately 6 minutes on the first side.
- Flip the patties and finish cooking until the internal temperature reaches 170 on a meat thermometer.
- Serve on toasted buns with your choice of condiments.

Notes
- Bun and condiments not included in nutrition calculation.
- Ground turkey should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F. However, I do prefer cooking to 170 degrees F. Use a meat thermometer to ensure best results.
- In order to keep turkey burgers juicy you must add additional fat to the mixture. This recipe accomplishes that through the use of cheese which also adds great flavor.
- If your burgers are dry either 1) you didn't add enough fat to the ratio of ground turkey you used, 2) you overcooked them, or 3) you didn't add a second layer of moisture (i.e., the Dijon mustard in this recipe).
