Grilled Turkey Burgers
Ingredients
- 1.25 lbs ground turkey 93% lean
- 2 tbsp grated yellow onion with juice
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Gently mix all patty ingredients in a bowl; do not overwork.
- Form 4 patties (1-inch thick) and press a thumbprint into the center.
- Chill patties in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Preheat grill to medium-high and oil the grates.
- Grill for 5 mins; flip and grill another 4–5 mins until internal temp is 165°F.
- Add cheese in the last 2 mins of cooking.
- Rest for 5 mins before serving on toasted buns.
Notes
Use the grated onion trick—it is the single best way to prevent dry turkey.
Do not press the burgers with a spatula while cooking.
Keep the meat cold until the moment it hits the hot grill.
Pair with a tangy sauce to complement the lean meat.
Great for meal prep as they stay moist when reheated carefully.
