Description
This is the most succulently juicy Turkey Burger recipe out there – even non-turkey lovers will be singing its praises- and yours! The turkey burgers are extra juicy thanks to Greek yogurt (and other tips!), masterly seasoned and infused with richer, deeper flavor thanks to beef bouillon (optional). These juicy flavor bombs are easy to whip up and enjoy immediately or chill for entertaining or whenever the cravings strike!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup dried minced onions
- 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt ((any fat content))
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons granulated beef bouillon (or 2 crushed cubes)
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley ((or 1 tsp dried))
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp EACH smoked paprika, pepper, dried oregano, salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- pinch-1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound (16 oz.) ground turkey ((I use 93/7))
- cooking spray
- 4 brioche buns
- 1 recipe Remoulade Sauce ((optional, highly recommend))
- Topping of choice: cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, avocado, sliced onions/caramelized onions/pickled red onions, bacon, etc.
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Stir the Turkey Patty ingredients together (except turkey) in a large bowl until well combined. Add the turkey and mix with your hands just to combine (don’t over-mix or your patties will be tough).
- Form patties: Wet your hands with cold water, then shake them, and lightly spray them with cooking spray to prevent the mixture from sticking. Form the mixture into 4 loose, equal balls (I use a kitchen scale) and transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Shape the balls into round patties, about 1/2 inch thick, 4 inches wide. The mixture will be soft, wet, and sticky.
- Dimple patties: Make a 1/4”-1/2" deep indentation in the middle of each patty with the back of a lightly greased 1/4 cup measuring cup (this will prevent shrinking and ensure even cooking).
- Chill: Transfer the patties on the baking sheet to the refrigerator for 30 minutes (or longer as needed) or the freezer for 15 minutes (cold patties stay intact better).
