Turkey Burger Ingredients
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey (93% lean) Provides a protein-rich base for healthy turkey burgers.
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise Adds moisture and flavor; Greek yogurt is a great low-fat substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard Offers a tangy kick; yellow mustard can be used for a milder taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce Enhances umami flavor; try tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 3 Garlic, minced Brings aromatic depth; use garlic powder if fresh is not available.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Essential for flavor enhancement; use sea salt or reduce for dietary preferences.
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper Adds a hint of spice; white pepper is a gentler alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil Used for cooking, adds richness; coconut oil is a non-dairy alternative.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly for about 3 minutes until well incorporated.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly into four portions and shape into patties about ¾ inch thick. Place them on a parchment-lined plate and allow to rest for about 10 minutes.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties without overcrowding and cook for about 5 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Transfer the turkey burgers to a platter and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
