Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Jerk seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 Scallion (green onion), finely chopped
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Sliced tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, jerk seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, chopped scallions, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to warm up.
Cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked turkey jerk patty, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of mayonnaise if using.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
