Why I Love This Turkey Burger Recipe

Turkey Burger Ingredients:

• ground turkey– When making turkey burgers, choose ones with more fat than you would normally buy. This keeps the burger delicious and juicy. Look for 80-90% lean turkey meat.
• bread crumbs– I used bread crumbs.
• Cheddar cheese・Use freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese.another cheddar cheese, monterey jack, pepper jack, gouda, or
• egg– The egg will help hold the mixture together and keep the patty from crumbling.
• minced garlic– I used minced fresh garlic, but you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder if you prefer.
• onion powder– Adds a nice flavor to turkey burgers.
• salt and pepper– Seasonal flavors.

How to make the best turkey burger:

1. Combine turkey mixture. Place all turkey ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir well to blend the whole. I love using my hands!
2. Form into patties. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions, or more if making sliders. Pat into patties that are large enough to fit in buns. Place on a baking sheet covered with parchment. Press a small indentation in the middle of each patty with your thumb. This will keep the patties from shrinking on the grill.
3. Chill. This step is not essential, but it will help the patties hold their shape better on the grill. If possible, let them cool for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
4. grill. Place turkey patties on a grill preheated to 450 degrees. Cook for 4-6 minutes before flipping. Heat for an additional 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Do not press the putty flat. Spatulaor flip multiple times.
5. serve. Remove the patties from the grill onto a clean plate. Serve on buns with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles, if desired.
6. fun!

Turkey or Beef?

This question is often asked, but sometimes difficult to answer. Food science is constantly evolving, and what we judged to be unhealthy years ago may not be as bad as we once thought. Comparing is not really a fair comparison. Depending on where the meat is obtained, the nutritional content will vary. If you have lean ground beef and fatty ground turkey, ground beef is considered healthier. The nutritional profile also changes depending on what the animal is fed. Free-range, grass-fed cows have healthier meat than stressed cows fed only corn.

That said, whether your family eats ground beef or ground turkey is a personal choice.For our family, I like to have both. The more variety of foods we include in our diet, the less likely children are to be picky. I like being able to give them food.

Tips and Suggestions

There are a few things you can do to prevent dry, flavorless turkey burgers! First, avoid buying extra lean turkey. The extra fat helps create juicy burgers.
