  • Total Time: 25
  • Yield: 4 burgers 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 small onion, grated
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, grated onion, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl
Mix until just combined, avoiding overworking the meat
Form mixture into 4 evenly sized patties
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil (optional)
Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and browned

Notes

For optimal juiciness, use a mix of lean and fattier ground turkey (e.g., 90/10 blend)
Substitute griddled onions or green onions for a milder flavor if desired
Serve on buns with cheese, lettuce, tomato, or preferred toppings
Pan-frying preserves moisture, but patties can also be baked at 375°F for 12-15 minutes per side
