Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.33 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, shredded cheddar cheese, panko breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (or preheat your grill to medium-high).
Add the patties to the skillet or grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juices.
During the last minute of cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the skillet, grill, or oven if desired.
Assemble each burger by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of a bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
