Ingredients
For the Turkey Burger Patties:
- 1 pound lean ground turkey (I used 93% lean)
- ¼ cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ to 1 teaspoon hot sauce such as Tabasco (optional)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
For Serving:
- 4 whole wheat hamburger buns or buns of choice
- Thinly sliced or grated cheese
- Sliced avocado
- Other toppings of choice: tomatoes, lettuce, mayo (or my fave, nonfat Greek yogurt)
Instructions
- Make the patties: In a large mixing bowl, place the ground turkey. Top with the Panko, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, hot sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Crack the egg into the bowl. With a fork, scramble the egg to break up the yolk, the use the fork to gently combine all of the ingredients. Don't over work the meat or the burgers may be tough.
- Meanwhile, in a large cast iron skillet (or similar sturdy skillet or a nonstick skillet), heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Shape the mixture into 4 patties that are about 1/2-inch thick and 4 1/2 inches across. The mixture will be very wet and soft. Work gently and trust that it will hold together once it cooks. I find it easiest to shape the patties with my hands, then carefully lower them directly onto the hot cooking surface (vs. transfer them to a plate, then transfer them to the skillet from there).
- Once the oil is hot and shimmering, cook the turkey burgers for 4 minutes on the first side, flip, then continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes on the second side, until the burgers reach 165ºF on an instant read thermometer inserted at the thickest part. If you’d like to toast the buns, do so during the last few minutes of cooking (see notes). If using cheese, place on top of the patties right after flipping. Transfer to a plate. Serve the burgers immediately on the buns, with avocado and your toppings of choice.
Notes
- TO TOAST BURGER BUNS: Spray or brush the cut sides with oil and toast them in the skillet for a few seconds, until they're warm and golden brown.
- TO STORE: Cooked burgers will last in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Wrap them tightly or store them in an airtight container.
- TO REHEAT: Reheat in the microwave, in a skillet over medium heat, or in an oven, toaster oven, or air fryer set to 350ºF.
- TO FREEZE: Freeze turkey burgers in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.
