Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 large egg white
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs (whole wheat or plain)
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- 4 pieces whole wheat burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 8 slices pickle slices (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mustard or light mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg white, breadcrumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, but do not over-mix as this can make the patties tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or a grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once heated, place the turkey patties onto the skillet or grill pan.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are browned and cooked through.
While the patties cook, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked turkey patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, optional pickle slices, and spread mustard or light mayonnaise on the top bun if desired.
Serve the turkey burgers warm with a side salad or baked sweet potato fries for a complete meal. Enjoy!
