Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 4 slices tomato slices
• 4 slices red onion slices
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons ketchup

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently using your hands until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Alternatively, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Cook the turkey patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to keep them juicy.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6

Assemble the Turk Burg by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun, followed by a turkey patty.

Step 7

Top each patty with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a red onion slice. Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the top half of the bun and place it on top to finish the burger.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like sweet potato fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
