Print Recipe

Turkey burgers are a healthier alternative to traditional beef burgers, and they are just as delicious! They are a perfect option for a quick and easy homemade dinner that the whole family will enjoy. With the right seasoning and toppings, these turkey burgers can be just as flavorful and satisfying as their beef counterparts. My favorite toppings include a chunky avocado guac which I spread thick on a buttered and toasted bun. But if avocado isn’t your thing, you can easily swap in any number of fixings!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Lettuce
  • Sliced tomato
  • Sliced red onion
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • Mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
  4. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill with a little melted butter.
  6. Halve your avocados and mash them in a separate bowl with the back of a fork. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patty on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, tomato, red onion slices, and a smear of avocado. Spread ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on the top bun and place it on top of the burger.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

If grilling isn’t your forte, you can always cook the burgers on a stovetop grill pan or in a skillet over medium-high heat. You can also play around with other toppings including bacon, cheese, and onion rings. I typically serve my burgers with chips, sweet potato fries, or cole slaw. Yum!
