Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 tbsp jerk seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 0.5 red onion, sliced
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, jerk seasoning, minced garlic, chopped scallions, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 4
While the patties are cooking, prepare the lime mayonnaise by mixing the mayonnaise and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 5
Lightly toast the burger buns, if desired.
Step 6
Assemble the burgers by spreading the lime mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a turkey burger patty, slices of tomato, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your Jerk Turkey Burger!
