Turkey Burger Recipe

Turkey Burger Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Turkey Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

3. 3

   Preheat the Grill or Skillet

   Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, add olive oil to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   Cook the Burgers

   Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). If using cheese, add a slice to each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

5. 5

   Prepare the Buns

   While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a turkey burger patty, a slice of tomato, and a slice of cheddar cheese. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard, then top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the turkey burgers hot with your favorite side dishes.
