Your favorite turkey burger recipe?

brightsideofpink · January 2017

Is anybody willing to share their favorite turkey burger recipe? Also, is it okay to make them with the extra lean (99% ff) turkey or does it need the 93%?

Thanks in advance!

I use a Southern Living recipe, but I cut back on the mayo a good bit. I use 93% I think the fat helps to keep them from getting dry. The original recipe below. Here is what I did. soupspiceeverythingnice.blogspot.com/2014/05/cilantro-lime-turkey-burgers.html

Top each burger with sliced pickled green tomatoes, lettuce, thinly sliced cucumber, a pinch of dried crushed red pepper, and a fresh dill sprig.

1 container (16 oz raw - 3 oz cooked ea.), Ground Chicken ot Turkey
• 2 cup, pieces or slices, Mushrooms - Raw
• 0.50 c, Sugar Free Tomato Sauce
• 1 cup, chopped, Peppers - Sweet, red, raw
• 1 tsp., the Original Worchestershire Sauce
• 0.50 cup, Fresh Raw Chopped Onion
Mix it all up and form into patties and fry in a TSP of olive oil. They make 4 burgers and are about 300 calories each without bun.

I go the 93% personally, better flavour and less dryness.

The turkey burger itself is simply mince (500 g for my recipe), 2 tbsp of panko, a good pinch of salt and your favourite spices (I like to use chermoula, garlic powder and a little onion powder)

Form the parties, push your thumb down into the middle and get them into a medium hot pan with around 1/2 a tbsp of oil.

Once nicely browned on the outside and cooked through, I top them with goats cheese, balsamic reduction, baby spinach and red onion and stick em on some homemade brioche.

I make a very simple turkey burger with barbecue sauce and chopped onions.
It's just Ground Turkey.
About half a cup of sauce.Just whatever I'm in the mood for.
Finely chopped onions.Probably about half a cup.
Shake a little dried parsley in.
Salt and pepper.
I'll often put this in a pan lined with foil,and bake it like a flat meatloaf.
It's very moist this way.
You can cut it into square burgers with a spatula.It can also be shaped into burgers,and cook it in a pan.
But do use some non stick spray because the BBQ sauce can burn if you over cook it.

For 1# of 93% ground turkey, I saute 1/2 cup yellow onion (finely chopped), and a cup of fresh baby spinach (coarsely chopped) in 1 Tbsp of olive oil and 1/2 TBSB butter until soft, set aside in a large bowl and let cool to room temperature. When the onion/spinach mixture is cooled off, add the ground turkey to the bowl and mix with your hands until combined. Form into patties. Season with whatever spice you like and grill ( I usually use my George Foreman grill). They stay moist this way.

I just mix my turkey with either a crushed chicken bouillon cube or some of the Montreal chicken seasoning, form patties, and grill. Put that on a toasted honey wheat bun with spinach, tomato, provolone, bacon, mayo, and dijon. So tasty.

I don't have a recipe, but I like to mix in chopped sun dried tomatoes, chopped kalamata olives, some feta cheese and a little oregano for a Greek turkey burger.

I just buy the lean or whatever is on sale...make them into patties....season with salt, pepper, garlic (or Johnny's seasoning) then put 1/2 oz of blue cheese on the patty at the end and smother with sautéed mushrooms...it is so yummy!

I buy whatever is on sale, and mix in 1/3 cup of quick cooking oats, and whatever seasonings we feel like. A favourite is chipotle sauce. I bake them for 15 minutes and finish them on the grill. It keeps them from falling apart. Smoked gruyere is a nice cheese to have with them.

I make this with ground chicken, but I guess you could use turkey.

1 lb ground chicken
1 ripe avocado
1/3 c Panko.
3 cloves garlic minced
1/4 c onion minced
1 Tb evoo
Salt/pepper/seasoning to taste

Sauté onion and garlic. Mix with other ingredients. I grill on a double sided griddle for about 20 min. Makes 4 burgers

1lb ground turkey or chicken
2 tbsp prepared pesto
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Form into patties and grill.
Really awesome with tzatziki sauce or topped with fresh tomato and slice of mozzarella drizzle of basalmic.
Also pretty darn good meatball style with alfredo sauce and pasta.

I would think 99% would be basically hockey puck dry...

Also, I prefer ground beef to ground turkey...there is little to no difference between 93% ground beef and 93% ground turkey.

Either way, a enjoy a fairly simple burger...ground beef with some Worcestershire thrown on top to soak in and a little pepper. Slice of cheese, lettuce, tomato, and grilled onion with dill pickle spear on the side.
