Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 4 pieces burger buns or sandwich rolls
- 1 optional toppings of choice (lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, etc.)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until no longer pink.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the turkey with the seasonings.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Toast the burger buns or sandwich rolls (if desired) under a broiler or in a toaster oven for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Spoon the loose turkey mixture onto the bottom half of each bun or roll. Top with your preferred toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, or pickles.
Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious ground turkey loose meat sandwich or burger!
