Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450 g ground turkey
  • 1 small onion grated
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4 burger buns
  • Toppings of choice: lettuce tomato, onion slices, cheese, pickles, ketchup, or mustard

Method
 

  1. Prepare the mixture – In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, grated onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Form patties – Shape into 4 equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while grilling.
  3. Preheat the grill – Heat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the burgers – Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Toast the buns – During the last minute of cooking, place the buns cut-side down on the grill until lightly toasted.
  6. Assemble and serve – Add your turkey patties to the buns, top with your favorite condiments and veggies, and serve hot.
