Whether you are trying to avoid red meat, or you simply want a lighter option at your backyard barbecue, turkey burgers are a great option. Turkey is a super lean meat so it can easily dry out. Adding a healthy fat to the meat is the key to keeping your burger nice and juicy. You can use olive oil, as listed, or try another healthy fat like avocado oil.
Alternatively, you can saute half a chopped onion and mix that in with the meat. The onion will help keep the burger moist. This is a great option if you don’t want to add in the added fat, but I highly recommend the olive oil. It makes for a great burger.
Want a cheeseburger? Add the cheese directly to the ground turkey. Just make sure it’s finely shredded cheese and mix it right in. You’ll want to mix it so that it is evenly dispersed throughout the meat.
The real key in this recipe is to make the indentation in the middle of the burger with your thumb. Burgers puff up in the middle when cooking and this will help create an even burger that cooks evenly.
How can you tell when a turkey burger is done?
Ground turkey needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
You can make this recipe on an outdoor grill, or indoors using a grill pan or heavy skillet. If using an outdoor grill, bring the heat up to about 450 degrees. Make sure that your grate is well oiled so that your burger doesn’t stick. Be patient and let your burger cook a while before flipping. If you flip your burger too early, they will fall apart.
