We know that turkey burgers often get overlooked for the standard beef variety, but these ones might just change your mind! These juicy turkey burgers are incredibly flavorful and anything but dry. With only 5 ingredients that are all pantry or fridge staples (plus salt and pepper, which don’t really count), these lean poultry patties are also cheap and super easy to make.

Instructions

Mix up the ground turkey with the onions, mayo, Worcestershire, breadcrumbs and salt and pepper until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix too much or the burgers might get a little tough.

Form the turkey mixture into 4 round patties.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan set over medium heat.

Place the patties in the pan and cook them for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes on the second side. The burgers are done when the juices run clear and they measure 165°F with an instant read thermometer. If you’re adding cheese, place some on top of each patty about 2 to 3 minutes before they’re done cooking on the second side.

Assemble the burgers. Spread your favorite condiments on each bun, then add the burger patties and the rest of your toppings.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Moisture Magic 💧
Mix in a tablespoon of mayo or Greek yogurt into the ground turkey to prevent dryness and add subtle richness.
Breadcrumb Binding 🥄
Use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular to create a lighter texture and help bind the lean turkey meat more effectively.
Flavor Depth Technique 🧅
Finely grate the onion instead of chopping to distribute moisture and flavor more evenly throughout the burger.
Indent for Even Cooking 👌
Create a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent bulging and ensure uniform cooking across the burger.
Lean Meat Handling 🥩
Handle the ground turkey gently and avoid over-mixing to prevent tough, dense burgers - mix just until ingredients are combined.
