Ingredients
Turkey Burger Patties
- 1 to 1 ½ pounds ground turkey 93/7 percent
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 3 Tablespoons real mayonnaise
- 3 Tablespoons bbq sauce
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of cumin
Burgers
- Brioche buns
- Sliced cheddar monterey jack, or pepper jack cheese
- Sliced tomatoes
- Green leaf lettuce
- Sliced red onion
- Sliced avocado
- Mayo or aioli
Instructions
- Combine the burger ingredients in a bowl. Mix together using your hands, then shape into patties about ½ to ¾-inch thick. Make an indentation in the center of each burger with your fingers. Place in the freezer for 20-40 minutes to help them firm up before placing on the grill.
- Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean. Spray both sides of each burger patty with cooking spray, then place on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip and top with cheese. Cook for another 5-6 minutes on the other side until done. The burgers should reach 165 degrees F in the center when tested with an instant read digital meat thermometer.
- Toast buns, then assemble burgers with lettuce and tomatoes on the bottom bun followed by the burgers and other toppings.
Notes
- Make ahead and freezing instructions: The burger patties can be made 24 hours in advance and kept in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap. Or freeze for up to 3 months and grill from frozen, or thawed in the fridge.
