Turkey Burger Recipe
Description
This recipe mixes one pound of ground turkey with beaten egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and onion powder to create seasoned burger patties. The mixture is divided into four equal portions and shaped into half-inch thick rounds using dampened hands to prevent sticking.
Burgers are cooked in olive oil over medium heat, about four minutes per side, until reaching an internal temperature of 160°F to ensure safety and juiciness. They can be served immediately on buns with toppings such as pickles, tomato, lettuce, onion, avocado, or sauces.
The recipe includes options like using lettuce as a bun for a lower-carb meal and offers advice on proper frying pan heat and tips for cooking on an outdoor grill by oiling the patties. Burgers can be chilled before cooking to help maintain shape and juiciness during cooking.
Cooked turkey burgers store well for 3-4 days in the refrigerator and can be frozen for longer storage. Using a meat thermometer helps confirm doneness for food safety.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 egg beaten, large
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tbsp. parsley freshly chopped
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper freshly ground
- ¼ cup seasoned breadcrumbs

Instructions

Notes
- Wet your hands with cold water before shaping patties to prevent sticking.
- Chill patties in the refrigerator before cooking to help them maintain shape.
- Use a hot skillet to get a good sear and flavor on the burgers.
- Check doneness with a meat thermometer; turkey burgers should reach 165°F internally.
- For grilling, preheat and oil the grill and brush patties with olive oil to avoid sticking.
- Try various toppings such as pickles, tomato, lettuce, avocado, cheese, and sauces to customize flavor.
- To melt cheese, add a slice five minutes before cooking ends.
