How to make a grilled turkey burger
To make a grilled turkey burger, follow these steps:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground turkey with your desired seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and any other herbs or spices you like.
3. Mix the seasonings into the ground turkey until well combined. You can also add in breadcrumbs or an egg if desired for extra moisture and binding.
4. Divide the turkey mixture into equal-sized portions and shape them into burger patties. Make sure they are slightly larger in diameter than your burger buns, as they will shrink slightly during cooking.
5. Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Place the turkey burger patties on the grill and close the lid.
6. Grill the burgers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Optional: In the last few minutes of cooking, you can add a slice of cheese on top of each burger patty and allow it to melt.
8. While the burgers are cooking, you can also lightly toast your burger buns on the grill for added flavor and texture.
9. Once the turkey burgers are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
10. Assemble your grilled turkey burgers by placing them on the toasted buns. Add your preferred toppings and condiments, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mayo, ketchup, or mustard.
11. Serve your delicious grilled turkey burgers hot and enjoy!
