Juicy Turkey Burgers
You won't miss the beef in these delicious turkey burgers. I treat them as a giant meatball so they retain so much flavor and moisture.
Ingredients
For the Burgers:
- 1 lb ground turkey meat I prefer dark meat not breast meat for this recipe
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 onion diced
- 1 egg
- 1 C panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 C parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp parsley chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Burger Toppings
- sliced red onion
- dill pickle chips
- ketchup
- mayo
- mustard
- lettuce
- heirloom tomato thickly sliced
- avocado sliced thinly
Instructions
- Heat a large non stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat on the stove. Add 1 tbsp olive oil. Once hot and shimmering, add in the diced yellow onion and cook until it is translucent and soft. About five minutes.
- Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant about thirty seconds. Pull off the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl combine the raw turkey, parsley, egg, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan. Add in 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss in the onion/garlic mixture and combine with your hands.
- Shape the mixture into patties and put them on a plate.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat again with the additional tbsp olive oil. Once hot and shimmering place the patties in the skillet. Cook until browned on both sides. About 6 minutes per side.
- Pull off the heat and serve on buns with your favorite toppings.
