Turkey Burgers

 

Annie had these at a friend's house and loved it. They are a fun change, we like them. Also air fry some sweet potato fries. It's a must. This meal comes together sooo fast. Rob says they're good if you think of them as a sandwich, not a burger. ha.

Ready in: 20minutes minutes

Ingredients

• 16 oz. 93% lean ground turkey, I recommend using Jennie-O*
• 1 Tbsp plain dried breadcrumbs (I use Panko)
• 1/2 tsp salt, or as desired
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (optional at my house)
• 1/4 tsp (heaping) garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp (heaping) onion powder
• 2 Tbsp light mayonnaise
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• one egg
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• Fresh Lemon Juice

Instructions

• Add ground turkey to a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle in breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add mayonnaise and drizzle in Worcestershire sauce and egg.
  
• Gently toss and break up meat mixture to evenly blend. Don't overmix or they'll be tough. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 1/2-inch thick. I like to coat them in Panko before I grill.
• Preheat olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes. 
  
• Add turkey patties and sear until golden brown on bottom, about 4 - 5 minutes, flip and continue to cook until cooked through, about 4 - 5 minutes longer. Center should register 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer. Squeeze fresh lemon juice at the end.
• Serve warm in hamburger buns or lettuce leaves with toppings of choice.
  I like to toast a good quality bun (walmart brioche or Artesano), add mayo, iceberg, and american cheese. My friend doesn't even bother with buns. 

Notes

• *I've tried making these with other brands of ground turkey and they are too sticky. Jennie-O turkey isn't so wet and easy to work with. I agree with this.
• Good toppings include mashed avocado, red onion, sliced tomatoes, dill pickle coins, ketchup and mustard, light mayo mixed with ketchup, or bacon and provolone cheese if you want to splurge.
