Homemade Grilled Turkey Burgers
Turkey burgers are notorious for being dry, for falling apart and being flavorless. This recipe solves all 3 of these issues.
Ingredients
Stuff You Need (~9-10 Patties):
- 2.5 lbs ground turkey
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 small vidalia onions * sweet onions
- 1 red bell pepper*
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme ground
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs plain
- 1 egg
For Grilling:
- Sprinkle seasoned salted BEFORE grilling not in the grind** my recipe
- Neutral oil for brushing burgers
Instructions
- Sauté diced onions and bell pepper with pinch of salt until browned and moisture evaporates, about 5-7 minutes. You want the color to be browned, not just translucent. Once browned, allow to cool completely.
- Mix cooled vegetables with ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, mayo, black pepper, thyme, bread crumbs, and egg until well combined.
- Form into 9-10 patties (about 5 oz each).
- Refrigerate patties at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat grill to 400°F.
- Season patties with seasoned salt and brush lightly with neutral oil before grilling (both sides).
- Grill 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Season patties just before grilling, NOT during mixing.
Oil prevents sticking to grates.
For less char, flip every 2 minutes and finish on indirect heat.
