When it comes to burgers, I know I’m not alone. We all crave them on a weekly basis, and that’s okay. But as adults, we all realize that maybe we shouldn’t indulge in those weekly cravings. Enter the turkey burger. This easy recipe hits all of the key points and satisfies our craving without the guilt of red meat.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 eggs
How to make it?
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with the breadcrumbs, garlic, basil, and egg. Form into 4 patties.
Mixing the ingredients in a bowl is an easy way to make sure they are evenly distributed, but if you’re feeling more ambitious, use your hands and form them into 4 patties.
For best results when forming your burgers:
- Use a spoon or fork to mix up the ingredients before hand-forming them (this will help ensure there aren’t any clumps of breadcrumbs).
- Don’t overwork the meat at this point—you want it as loose as possible without being too wet/mushy looking. If you find that your hand isn’t soft enough, add some extra breadcrumbs from another bowl until yours looks like wet sand!

Serve in hamburger buns with desired toppings.

- You can also make a turkey burger in a frying pan or on a grill! This will give you the same great taste without all the guilt of eating red meat.
Conclusion
This is a quick and easy way to get your burger fixed without all of the guilt. To make sure you have the right texture and taste, cook it thoroughly. If you are using a frying pan, make sure that your non-stick pan is hot before adding oil or butter. If you are using a grill or oven, use a meat thermometer so that you can ensure that there isn’t any pinkness left inside when cooking time is up!
We hope you’ve enjoyed this easy-to-make turkey burger recipe. Feel free to add any of your favorite toppings or vegetables to the mix. Also, be sure to use a good quality ground turkey with no added fillers.
