Ingredients
Turkey Burger Patties
- 1 to 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey 93/7 percent
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 Tablespoons real mayonnaise
- 3 Tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- Pinch of cumin
Burgers
- Brioche buns
- Sliced cheddar monterey jack, or pepper jack cheese
- sliced tomatoes
- green leaf lettuce
- sliced red onion
- Sliced avocado
- Mayo or aioli
Instructions
- Combine the burger ingredients in a bowl. Mix together using your hands, then shape into patties about 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick. Make an indentation in the center of each burger with your fingers. Place in the freezer for 20-40 minutes to help them firm up before placing on the grill.
- Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean. Spray both sides of each burger patty with cooking spray, then place on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip and top with cheese. Cook for another 5-6 minutes on the other side until done. The burgers should reach 165°F in the center when tested with an instant read digital meat thermometer.
- Toast buns, then assemble burgers with lettuce and tomatoes on the bottom bun followed by the burgers and other toppings.
