Ingredients
- Ground turkey
- Bread crumbs
- Egg
- Onion
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- Hamburger buns
- Lettuce
- Tomato
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, one beaten egg, finely diced onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix ingredients thoroughly using clean hands or a wooden spoon until well incorporated.
- Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions and gently shape each portion into a uniform patty, approximately 3/4 inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Place turkey patties on the heated cooking surface. Cook for 6-8 minutes on the first side, allowing a golden-brown crust to form.
- Carefully flip the patties and continue cooking for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
- While burgers are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- Wash and slice fresh tomatoes. Separate crisp lettuce leaves for topping.
- Once cooked, remove turkey burgers and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Assemble burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun, topping with fresh lettuce and tomato slices. Serve immediately.
Tips
- Keep your hands slightly wet when forming patties to prevent the meat from sticking to your fingers.
- Don't overwork the meat mixture - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the burgers tender.
- The indentation in the center of each patty helps prevent bulging and ensures even cooking.
- Always use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 165°F for food safety.
- Let the burgers rest after cooking to retain their juiciness and allow the meat to redistribute its moisture.
- For extra flavor, try adding herbs like parsley or chives to the meat mixture.
- If you don't have a grill, a cast-iron skillet works perfectly for achieving a beautiful golden-brown crust.
