Meet your new weeknight favorite: Turkey Long Burgers, a healthier and flavorful twist on the classic burger. Crafted with lean ground turkey, aromatic spices like garlic and paprika, and a touch of breadcrumbs for the perfect texture, these rectangular patties are tailored to fit neatly inside long sandwich rolls. Quick to prepare and ready in under 30 minutes, these burgers are seared to perfection for a golden-brown crust and juicy interior. Topped with crisp lettuce, fresh tomato slices, melted cheddar, and a tangy homemade mayonnaise-mustard spread, they deliver a delightful medley of textures and flavors sure to satisfy. Perfect for casual dinners or summer barbecues, serve these turkey long burgers with fries or a fresh salad for a crowd-pleasing meal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a rectangular patty that will fit the length of the sandwich rolls.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, place the turkey patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomatoes into thin rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves by rinsing and patting them dry.
Optional: Toast the sandwich rolls in the skillet or under a broiler until lightly golden for added texture.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and mustard together to create a tangy burger spread.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on the inside of each roll. Add a lettuce leaf, a turkey patty, a slice of cheddar cheese, and 2-3 slices of tomato to each roll.
Close the sandwich rolls and serve the turkey long burgers immediately. Optionally, pair with fries, chips, or a side salad.
