Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 1 large tomato
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burger patties tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 even portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Brush the grill or skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking, then place the patties on the heat source.
Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and let it melt.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet for about 1 minute, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom bun, then layer with lettuce, a cooked turkey patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Turkey Cheese Burgers!
