Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.25 cup bread crumbs
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
Instructions
Finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, chopped red onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the turkey patties to the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
If using cheese, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato.
Toast the brioche buns in the oven or on a griddle if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by a turkey patty, sliced tomato, and top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the burgers immediately while warm.
