Ingredients

Turkey Burger Patties

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1½ tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon-style mustard made with distilled vinegar
  • 1 tsp coconut aminos
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg

For Cooking and Serving

  • Oil for cooking (such as vegetable or olive oil)
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Toppings of choice (lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: Gently combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, Dijon mustard, coconut aminos, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, and egg in a large bowl. Mix just until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to avoid tough patties.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture evenly into four portions and shape each into a patty. Press a shallow dimple into the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
  3. Cook Patties: Lightly oil a skillet or preheat your grill over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
  4. Assemble Burgers: Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Place each cooked turkey patty on a bun and add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Mix the ingredients just until combined to keep the patties tender and juicy.
  • Pressing a dimple in the patties helps them cook evenly and prevents puffing up.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Customize your toppings to suit your taste preferences, adding cheese, avocado, or sauces if desired.
