Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Jerk seasoning
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Sliced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise or spicy mayo (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, jerk seasoning, breadcrumbs, green onions, minced garlic, chopped thyme, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, place the turkey patties in the pan.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Toast the burger buns lightly in the same skillet or on a separate grill for added flavor and texture.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise or spicy mayo (if using) on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and top it with the upper bun.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Jerk Turkey Burgers!
