Description

Juicy turkey burgers seasoned with garlic and onion, served on toasted buns with honey mustard and all the fixings. A simple wedge salad completes this satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lbs (454 g) freshly ground turkey
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 0.5 lbs (227 g) brown onion, diced
  • a dash Worcester Sauce
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • Cucumber, sliced
  • Honey mustard to taste
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Dice 1/2 an onion and sauté until very soft in a skillet.
  2. When cooked, add the onion to raw turkey meat along with all spices and Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Shape the mixture into 4 patties; the thicker, the better.
  4. In an oven-safe pan, heat a bit of oil and pan-fry each patty side until golden brown—about 4–5 minutes per side.
  5. Once both sides are browned, transfer the pan to a 450°F (232°C) oven. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve on a toasted whole wheat bun with honey mustard, avocado, and cucumber.

Notes

  • To prevent dry burgers, avoid overworking the turkey mixture. Gently combine ingredients until just mixed.
  • For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs to the turkey mixture before forming patties.
  • Leftover cooked turkey burgers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
