Turkey Burgers

Turkey Burgers on a serving plate

Turkey burgers are a quick, mostly healthy main dish you can have on the table in a flash. And they’re kid-friendly too!

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground turkey, 85% lean 

1 cup onion, finely chopped

1 cup fresh bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

1 large egg

Black pepper, to taste

Vegetable oil, for frying

Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a medium-size bowl, crumble the turkey and add the rest of the ingredients except the oil. Using a spoon or fork, lightly but thoroughly mix the ingredients. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into half-inch thick patties on waxed paper, parchment, or foil squares. 

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom. Use the waxed paper squares to invert the patties into the pan one by one, peeling off the paper as you go. 

Cook the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or just until no pink remains in the center. Serve garnished with parsley if desired.
