Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Sliced tomato
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, shredded cheddar cheese, panko breadcrumbs, egg, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together gently with your hands or a large spoon until everything is evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the hot grill or pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise and/or ketchup on the bottom half of each bun (if using). Layer each with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a cooked turkey patty. Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Summertime Cheesy Turkey Burgers!
