Turkey Burgers

Homemade turkey burger on a toasted bun with mayo, ketchup, lettuce, red onion, and dill pickles for an easy family dinner.
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  10 min

Ingredients

Turkey Patties

  • 2 pounds 93% lean ground turkey
  • ½ small yellow onion, grated
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, (some people also do mayo)

For Serving

  • 6 hamburger buns, toasted
  • ½ cup good quality mayonnaise, (we like Duke’s or Helman’s)
  • ¼ cup ketchup, (optional)
  • 6 romaine lettuce leaves
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup dill pickles, sliced (optional)

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated onion, garlic powder, egg, breadcrumbs, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until fully combined. Using your hands, form the mixture into 6 patties, slightly larger than the buns. 
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read meat thermometer. Do not press patties. 
  3. Spread the cut side of the buns with the mayonnaise and ketchup (if using). Layer with lettuce, turkey patties, onion, and pickles (if using). Serve immediately.

Notes

Grill method:

Grease the grates with the olive oil. Preheat the grill on medium high. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read meat thermometer.
