Favorite Turkey Burger
- Serves 4
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Total time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (preferably 92 to 93 percent lean)
- 1/2 cup finely grated Gruyère cheese
- 4 thinly sliced scallions
- 1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 minced garlic clove
- salt and pepper
- oil
Directions
- Heat grill to high. In a medium bowl, use a fork to gently combine ground turkey with Gruyère, scallions, breadcrumbs, mustard, and garlic; season generously with salt and pepper. Gently form mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.
- Lightly oil grill. Place patties on hottest part of grill; sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move patties to cooler part of grill; continue grilling until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes per side.
Note: Cheese and mustard are incorporated rather than used as toppings. For juicier burgers, don’t use the leanest ground turkey.
