Turkey Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons ketchup
• 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1/3 cup bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• 4 buns
• 1 tablespoon canola oil , or use pan spray

For serving:

• Condiments: ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce
• Toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, avocado

Instructions 

• Mix together: To a mixing bowl add turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, egg and breadcrumbs. Using a fork, mix together—try not to mix it too much.
• Shape into 4 patties about ½ inch thick— they will be really moist.
• Use your thumb to make a depression in the center of each patty. If grilling, place the patties on a parchment lined plate and freeze for 20 minutes.

Cooking options:

• Skillet: Heat the canola oil in a nonstick griddle or large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. (Or spray generously with non-stick cooking spray). Once hot, cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side.
• Grill: Freeze the patties for 20 minutes before grilling (this will help the hold their shape.) Grill for a few minutes on each side, until cooked through.
• Oven: Bake at 375 F for 25-30 minutes. Then sear on a hot pan for 2 minutes on each side.
• Serve on buns, with the condiments of your choice.
