THE PERFECT TURKEY BURGER RECIPE

Ground turkey is the unsung hero of the grilling world. When mixed with simple yet flavorful ingredients, it transforms into moist, juicy burgers that will leave your taste buds singing. Here's our tried-and-true recipe for the ultimate turkey burgers:

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground turkey (85% – 93% lean)
• 1/4 cup yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon oil (canola, avocado, or vegetable), if pan-frying

Topping Suggestions:

• Provolone cheese
• Creamy coleslaw
• BBQ sauce
• Tomatoes

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, diced onions, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into six 1/3-pound patties or eight 1/4-pound patties, ensuring they're slightly larger in circumference than your burger buns.
3. If pan-frying, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then place the patties in the skillet. Cook until browned on one side, then flip and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4. If grilling, preheat your grill to high heat. Cook the patties on both sides until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
5. Assemble your burgers on buns with your choice of toppings, such as provolone cheese, creamy coleslaw, BBQ sauce, and sliced tomatoes.
