After making them the first time my husband said "no more" to beef burgers. These are full of flavor — any cooking method may be used, and they freeze very well. The recipe can also be used for meatballs or meatloaves.

How to Make Turkey Burgers The good news is that making turkey burgers from scratch is quite easy. All you need is ground turkey, onion, bread crumbs, eggs, and some seasonings and you're good to go. Simply combine your ground turkey, diced onion, bread crumbs, egg whites, garlic, parsley, salt, and ground pepper in a bowl. We recommend sticking with ground turkey that's about 93% lean or less — any leaner than that and your burger might fall apart. Form the ground turkey mixture into patties and cook the burgers using your preferred method. How to Cook Turkey Burgers The turkey burgers are cooked in a skillet on the stove in this recipe, but you can also cook turkey burgers on the grill, in the oven, and in the air fryer. Turkey burgers should be cooked until their internal temperature is at least 165 degrees F. Skillet: Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in the skillet, turning once, about 15 minutes.Grill: Lightly oil and preheat the grill. Place turkey burgers on the grill, turning once, about 10 minutes.Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the patties on the baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes.Air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F and place patties inside. Air fry for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. What to Put on a Turkey Burger Just like a beef hamburger, turkey burger toppings are all up to you. You can be as creative or plain as you like. Some common toppings include lettuce, tomato, cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and pickles. Or you can try something beyond the basic toppings and add jalapeños if you want a kick, guacamole if you want something Mexican-inspired, or an egg if you're going for a breakfast-for-dinner vibe. We'll leave the possibilities up to your imagination. Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "These are great! I used seasoned salt instead of regular salt, but other than that followed the recipe. They do freeze well as I made some and froze them for later meals and they came out fine," says missbettyjane. "These burgers were scrumptious! I'd take them any day over regular hamburgers! served them topped with lettuce, red onion, ketchup, and mustard, and they were so flavorful and juicy," raves one community member. "DELICIOUS! I wish I could give this recipe 10 stars!! I followed others' advice and added some Worcestershire sauce/hot sauce and the burgers were amazing! I only cook for 2 but I always make extras and freeze these because they're so good," according to Letis.
