Method
- In a large bowl, gently mix the ground turkey with breadcrumbs, dried onion flakes, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, and salt. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Press down slightly in the center to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
- For stovetop cooking: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly spray with olive oil when hot.
- Place the patties in the hot skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked through. Monitor the bottom to prevent burning and ensure they are fully cooked.
- While the burgers cook, prepare your burger buns and desired toppings. You can toast the buns for extra flavor.
- Once cooked, place the turkey burgers on the buns, add your favorite toppings, and serve immediately.
- For grilling: Ensure your grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the burgers over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until they are no longer pink inside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Cook the turkey burgers for 4-5 minutes per side until thoroughly cooked.
💡 Tips
- Don't overwork the turkey mixture, as this can lead to tough burgers.
- Pressing a slight indent in the center of each patty helps them cook evenly and prevents them from shrinking too much.
- Ensure your cooking surface (skillet or grill) is properly heated before adding the burgers for a good sear.
