Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 unit large egg
• 0.25 cup yellow onion, finely minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil or non-stick cooking spray
• 4 units hamburger buns
• 4 units lettuce leaves
• 4 slices tomato slices
• 4 slices cheddar cheese slices (optional)
• 0 to taste desired condiments (e.g., ketchup, mayo, mustard)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 even portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty; this helps them cook evenly and prevents puffing up.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates with olive oil or spray them with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place the turkey burger patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them. Flip gently using a spatula and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (use a meat thermometer to check).

Step 5

If adding cheese, place a slice on each burger during the last minute of cooking and close the grill lid to melt it.

Step 6

Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 30-60 seconds until lightly browned, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing a turkey patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add lettuce leaves, a tomato slice, and any desired condiments or toppings. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious grilled turkey burgers!
