Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey 85/15
- ¼ cup finely grated yellow onion about ½ medium onion
- 2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
- 4 burger buns
- Burger toppings tomato, red onion (optional), mayonnaise, pickles, etc.
Instructions
- Add the ground turkey, grated onion, breadcrumbs, olive oil, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper to a large bowl.
- Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about ½ inch thick, pressing a slight dimple in the center. Place on a plate or parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil if needed. Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side, until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Rest 3-5 minutes before serving.
- Serve on burger buns with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use 85/15 ground turkey for the juiciest results.
- Store cooked burgers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze uncooked patties for up to 3 months.
- You could also use the grill. Grill these burgers over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Make sure your grill grates are clean and oiled before you put the patties on. Turkey sticks more than beef, and a stuck patty will fall apart when you flip it.
