Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 tbsp butter
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to keep them from puffing up while cooking.
Slice the yellow onion into thin rings. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the onion slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, wipe it clean and heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the turkey patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty, cover the skillet, and allow the cheese to melt.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the Dijon mayo by whisking together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a toaster or on a griddle, if desired.
To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of Dijon mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the turkey patty with melted Swiss cheese, and some caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish like fries, salad, or coleslaw. Enjoy your delicious Swiss Turkey Burger!
