Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pounds ground turkey
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cups red onion
- 2 cloves garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices tomato slices
- 4 slices pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons burger sauce or mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped red onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined, but avoid over-mixing to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the burger patties. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns until lightly golden, either in a toaster, on the grill, or under the broiler.
To assemble, spread about 1 tablespoon of burger sauce or mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top each with a lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey burger patty, a tomato slice, and a pickle slice. Add the top half of the bun.
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides like fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
