Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Turkey Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

  3. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties in the hot pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and they are nicely blackened.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Buns

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

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked turkey patty. Top with sliced tomato and cheese if using, then cover with the top half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the blackened turkey burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
