Ingredients
 

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
