Make a juicy, flavorful Turkey Burger at home with this simple recipe! This delicious and nutritious burger alternative is made with lean ground turkey and a homemade seasoning that's packed with flavor. It's easy to make in 15 minutes for a healthy, tasty meal!
Combine the ground turkey, turkey seasoning, worcestershire sauce and dijon mustard in a large bowl.
Form the mixture into 4 burger patties.
Preheat a large skillet on the stove, or a grill, over medium-high heat.
Cook for 5 minutes per side, or until they’ve reached an internal temp of 165°F.
During the last minute of cooking time, top each of the patties with a slice of cheese.
Remove the burgers from the grill and allow them to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
Place the buns on the grill, or in the hot skillet, and toast.
Remove the buns from the grill, place a turkey burger on each bun, and add the optional toppings of your choice.
Notes
The nutritional information provided is only for the turkey burger patties, and does not include the optional Swiss cheese and hamburger buns.
To make these burgers “protein style”, ditch the bun and replace it with two large leaves of iceberg lettuce. This is also a great option to make the burger gluten-free and low carb. Without the buns, each burger patty contains only 1 carb and .7 net carbs.
After removing the burgers from the grill, or a skillet, do not immediately put the burgers on buns. Instead, allow them to rest for 5 minutes on a separate plate or cutting board before assembling the burgers. This will allow the juices to redistribute and keep the moisture inside the burgers. It will also prevent the buns from getting soggy.
The turkey burger patties can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge before grilling. You can also freeze prepared, uncooked turkey burger patties in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months. I recommend placing a piece of parchment paper between each of the burger patties so they don’t stick together in the freezer. To thaw the turkey burger patties, transfer them from the freezer to the fridge for 24 hours before grilling.
