Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, dried onion flakes, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and salt.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet on medium-low heat. When hot, lightly spray oil.
- Clean grill well before cooking and spray with oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Make 4 equal patties, press down to flatten so they are not too thick, about 1/2 inch thick so they cook in the center.
- Add burgers to the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Keep an eye on the bottom to prevent burning and to make sure the burgers are cooked all the way through.
- Cook the burgers on medium heat about 5 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the center and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the burgers are cooking, prepare your buns and toppings. Toast the buns if you like.
- Air Fryer Option: Air fry turkey burgers 400F about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
- When the burgers are done, place them on the buns, add your desired toppings, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Turkey burgers can stick to the grill due to their lower fat content compared to beef. However, there are a few ways to prevent this from happening:
- Preheat the Grill: Ensure your grill is hot before you put the burgers on. A hot grill helps to sear the meat quickly, keeping the juices in and preventing sticking.
- Oil the Grill Grates: Before you start grilling, take a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil and, using tongs, rub it over the grill grates. This will create a non-stick surface.
- Don't Move the Burgers Too Soon: After placing your burgers on the grill, let them cook without disturbing them until they release easily from the grill, typically about 5-6 minutes. If you try to flip them too soon, they may stick and fall apart.
- Use a Spatula: When it's time to flip your burgers, use a wide spatula and make sure to scoop under the burgers completely to prevent them from falling apart. Remember to make sure your turkey burgers reach an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure they are cooked safely.
