Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
  • ¼ cup seasoned whole wheat or gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup dried onion flakes
  • 1 tbsp ketchup made with distilled vinegar
  • 1 tbsp mustard made with distilled vinegar
  • 1 tsp coconut aminos
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

For Cooking and Serving

  • Olive oil spray
  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce (optional)
  • Tomato (optional)
  • Red onion (optional)
  • Pickles (optional)
  • Avocado (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, seasoned breadcrumbs, dried onion flakes, ketchup, mustard, coconut aminos, grated garlic, and kosher salt until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
  2. Heat Skillet: Lightly coat a skillet with olive oil spray and heat it over medium heat until hot to prepare for cooking the patties.
  3. Cook Patties: Place the turkey patties in the heated skillet. Cook, turning as needed, until each side is browned and the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (74°C), which ensures they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
  4. Assemble Burgers: Remove the patties from the skillet and place each on a burger bun. Add your choice of optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, or avocado to complete your burger.

Notes

  • Avoid pressing down on the patties with a spatula while cooking to retain juiciness.
  • Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • You can substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives if desired.
  • Feel free to add your favorite condiments or toppings for extra flavor.
