Turkey Burgers - A Delicious and Healthy Alternative to Beef Burgers
Turkey burgers are a great alternative to beef burgers, especially if you're looking for a healthier option. They're leaner and lower in fat, but still packed with flavor. In this recipe, we'll show you how to make juicy and delicious turkey burgers that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayo
Cooking tips:
- Use ground turkey that is at least 93% lean to ensure that your burgers are not too dry.
- Don't overwork the meat when mixing the ingredients, as this can make the burgers tough.
- Make a small indentation in the center of each patty before cooking to prevent them from puffing up.
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well, but don't overwork the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
3. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the burgers for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. If using cheese, add it to the burgers during the last minute of cooking.
5. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a few seconds.
6. Assemble the burgers with your desired toppings and serve immediately.
