Method

Preparation of Turkey Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is about 1/2 inch thick.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the turkey patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Add Cheese (optional)

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

Assembling the Burgers

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, then the turkey patty (with melted cheese if using), a slice of tomato, and condiments like ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
