Instructions

Mix up the ground turkey with the onions, mayo, Worcestershire, breadcrumbs and salt and pepper until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix too much or the burgers might get a little tough.

Form the turkey mixture into 4 round patties.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan set over medium heat.

Place the patties in the pan and cook them for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes on the second side. The burgers are done when the juices run clear and they measure 165°F with an instant read thermometer. If you’re adding cheese, place some on top of each patty about 2 to 3 minutes before they’re done cooking on the second side.

Assemble the burgers. Spread your favorite condiments on each bun, then add the burger patties and the rest of your toppings.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Don't Overwork the Meat 🙌
Mix the turkey gently with a light hand for just 30-45 seconds—overworking creates dense, dry patties instead of tender, juicy ones. Stop as soon as ingredients are barely combined.
Toast Your Breadcrumbs First 🍞
Lightly toast the breadcrumbs in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing into the turkey to add depth of flavor and help absorb meat juices during cooking.
Chill Patties Before Cooking ❄️
Form patties and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) so they hold their shape better and cook more evenly without falling apart on the grill or pan.
Create a Slight Dimple in Center 👆
Press a small indent into the center of each patty with your thumb before cooking—this prevents the burger from puffing up and ensures even thickness throughout.
Use a Meat Thermometer for Precision 🌡️
Cook turkey burgers to exactly 165°F internal temperature for food safety without overdrying; lean poultry has little margin for error, so checking beats guessing.
