The name says it all: These are the easiest Turkey Burgers you’ll ever make. And they are insanely tasty, too. With just a few seasonings and classic toppings, you can turn a simple dinner into a family favorite. I also have a version featuring beans that includes an extra dose of protein and fiber. Try them both and decide which your crew likes best.
- Prep time
- Total Time
- • 1 pound ground turkey (90 to 93 percent lean)
- • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- • 1 teaspoon onion powder
- • Kosher salt for sprinkling
- • Whole grain buns, English muffins, or roasted Portabello mushroom caps, optional
- • Lettuce, tomato, sliced onions, pickles, ketchup or BBQ sauce, optional
Add the ground turkey, egg, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder to a large bowl, and mix to combine until well blended. Gently combine using your hands or a spatula. Form the mixture into 6 large patties.
Liberally coat a large skillet with nonstick oil spray and warm over medium-high heat. Place 3 or 4 patties in the skillet. Mist the tops with oil spray and sprinkle them with salt. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, then carefully flip, scraping the bottom to keep them intact. Next, lightly sprinkle the browned tops with salt and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165˚.
Reapply oil spray to the skillet and repeat with the remaining burgers.
Serve the burgers on toasted whole-grain hamburger buns or roasted Portabello mushroom caps with your choice of toppings.
