Why you'll love this recipe

I know you might think that a delicious turkey burger is a misnomer, but I'm here to tell you that's simply not true! This is the BEST ground turkey burgers I've ever had!

✔️ Moist and flavorful.

✔️ A healthier choice.

✔️ You won't believe how good these are!

So they CAN be tender and juicy! Follow this recipe for the best grilled turkey burgers ever!

Ingredients

Please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the exact measurements. You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make these delicious burgers!

• Lean ground turkey breast or ground chicken will work for this recipe!
• onion - well minced
• mayonnaise - it's the secret ingredient and crucial in this recipe! It adds much-needed fat for flavor and added moisture.
• Bread crumbs for the binder.
• Parmesan or Romano cheese
• Worcestershire sauce - use soy sauce if a substitution is needed
• Montreal Steak Seasoning - store-bought or homemade, either will work! You can use turkey burger seasoning, it's filled with garlic powder, onion powder, and poultry seasoning, but I prefer the Montreal Seasoning. It's spot on for this recipe.

If you're serving these as burgers, you'll need buns and all your favorite burger toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, sliced red onion, pickles, mustard, ketchup, and mustard!

Instructions

This is an overview of the instructions. For the complete directions just scroll down to the bottom!

1. Measure out the ingredients and put everything in a large bowl.
2. In a medium bowl, lightly mix turkey and ingredients. Don't over-mix.
3. Separate the meat mixture into four equal portions.
4. Form turkey burger patties and refrigerate covered with plastic wrap.

These can be cooked on your outdoor grill, on the stovetop with a grill pan, or simply using a fry pan.

Oven fried instructions

1. Cook them in the oven by preheating the oven to 375.

Tips

• Start with clean grill grates and before the burgers go on the grill, make sure the grill is HOT!
• You can use a charcoal grill or gas grill. You can also use a grill pan on the stovetop.
• Keep the turkey burger patty cold before slapping on the grill and flip them as few times as possible. This will help keep the meat tender and juicy!
• Don't over-mix the meat, it will make the burgers tough.
• Allow the cooked patties to rest about five minutes before eating.

Variations

• If you don't want (or don't have!) any breadcrumbs, there are several substitutions you can use; crushed pretzels, cornflakes or Rice Krispies (really any sugarless cereal). You can also use rolled oats.
• No mayonnaise; use an egg instead.
• Make healthy turkey burgers by ditching the burger bun and make lettuce wraps instead!
• Turn these into Southwest Turkey Burgers by topping with an avocado mash - delicious!
• Swap out the ground turkey for lean ground beef.
• Since this was photographed, I began using brioche buns. Let me tell you, that's yummy! Be sure to butter and toast the buns for even better flavor and texture.

Storage
