Turkey Burger Recipes

I've had some amazing turkey burgers in my day. The common denominator among each of them is moisture. A turkey burger patty has an appropriate amount of moisture and fat content to keep it juicy, while still staying firm.

So as I've said before, opinions will vary greatly. But here's how I make what I think is an amazingly tasty yet simple turkey burger that is juicy and full of flavor...

My Turkey Burger Recipe

  1. Get yourself about 1 1/2 pounds of premium ground turkey breast.
  2. In a bowl, add one egg to the ground turkey.
  3. Add about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
  4. Add a dash of cayenne pepper.
  5. Mix in one large red onion, diced.
  6. Add one clove of minced garlic.
  7. Salt and pepper as desired.
  8. (optional) 1/2 cup of very thick beef gravy.
  9. Mix it all together by hand into one big gooey lump and mold it into patties about 1 inch thick and about 3-4 inches in diameter.

Now, I think in order to get the best results out of this recipe, you should grill your turkey burger patty over a charcoal flame. But if you don't own a grill, use the pan fry/oven combo method I've laid out here in World's Best Hamburger Recipe.

*A note of caution: There is no medium-rare turkey burger. Make sure the internal temperature is at least 160 degrees F!

So, cook it up however you like. Top it off with a big slice of red onion and a slice of swiss cheese for a taste that's sure to please.
