Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine the turkey, mustard, thyme, scallions, salt and pepper. Don’t overmix. Form the meat into four ¾-inch-thick patties.
  2. Heat the oil in a large 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties until completely cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Toss with the lettuce and carrot.
  4. Serve the burgers on the rolls, topped with the slaw.

Notes

  • Buns: I used this French bread roll recipe with whole wheat flour.
  • Ground Turkey: these turkey burgers turn out more moist and tender if you use ground turkey that is 85 to 93 percent lean.
  • Cooking Method: I cooked the turkey burgers in a skillet but you could try grilling them. Turkey tends to stick to the grill more than beef so make sure your grill is cleaned and well-oiled.
