Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 tbsp jerk seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 0.5 red onion, sliced
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, jerk seasoning, minced garlic, chopped scallions, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, prepare the lime mayonnaise by mixing the mayonnaise and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Lightly toast the burger buns, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the lime mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a turkey burger patty, slices of tomato, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Jerk Turkey Burger!
