We love burgers, and I can honestly say that my Rhea is obsessed with burgers. She has an underweight problem, which means that letting her eat burgers is a good thing. So, the rest of us enjoy burgers more often as a family. For your next BBQ party, instead of traditional beef burgers, serve these juicy, moist, and delicious turkey burgers. They are made with a few simple ingredients you probably have on hand. Serve them with baked fries and a side salad for the perfect summer treat.
Step-by-step: Easy Turkey hamburgers
Ground turkey patties
In a bowl, combine the ground turkey with all other ingredients (except the oil).Pro tip – Bring it all together but do not overwork the mixture as it will make the burgers tough. Divide your mixture into 4 large or 6 medium patties.Pro tip – The 4 large burgers will be approximately 8 oz or 250 grams each and the 4 medium will be about 6 oz or 160 grams each. Dip your hands in water. This prevents sticking and helps shape the patties. Make a ball then flatten and shape edges.Pro tip – You can keep these wrapped in the fridge until you are ready to grill them. Thaw the patties to room temperature an hour before grilling.
Grill patties
Heat the outdoor grill on medium-high heat turning the heat down as necessary. Today, I am using an indoor griddle on the stove but a cast-iron skillet or pan works just fine. Brush the grill with vegetable oil and place the burger on the grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until done. For the last minute – add the sliced cheese (optional).Pro tip – Turkey patties are not high in fat. So, adjust from medium heat and medium-high as necessary so you get nice chard but also do not overcook on the inside. Cool – When cooked, transfer to a platter and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. A turkey burger is ready when the internal temperature reads about 165F on an instant-read meat thermometer.
Burger sauce
Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.Pro tip – This sauce is perfect not just in the burger with the beef patties but also to dip your fries and onion rings.
Assemble
Split the burger buns and toast the edges on the grill. Place the bun on the plate and add some sauce. Then, place the burger in the sauce and, Top the burger with veggies. I like to add some tomato, grilled onions, and lettuce. Serve burgers with your choice of sides like fries, onion rings, or salad. Enjoy!
