Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.5 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 1 sliced avocado (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, pumpkin puree, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands or a spatula, gently mix the ingredients until well combined. Do not overmix to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty. Press each patty slightly in the center to prevent puffing up while cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a food thermometer.
Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of a bun.
Top each patty with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and optional sliced avocado, then place the top half of the bun on the burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Turkey Pumpkin Burgers!
