Ingredients

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, jerk seasoning, breadcrumbs, green onions, minced garlic, chopped thyme, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, place the turkey patties in the pan.
Step 4
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
Toast the burger buns lightly in the same skillet or on a separate grill for added flavor and texture.
Step 6
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise or spicy mayo (if using) on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and top it with the upper bun.
Step 7
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Jerk Turkey Burgers!
