Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, gently knead together ground turkey, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper, being careful not to overwork the meat to retain juiciness.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into four patties about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, pressing your thumb down in the center of each one to create a slight indent for even cooking.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a large heavy skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit). Oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
- Cook Burgers: Place the patties on the cooking surface and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, flipping halfway through. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, or remove at 160 degrees and let rest.
- Rest Burgers: Let the burgers rest for 5 minutes to allow the temperature to reach the safe 165 degrees Fahrenheit and juices to redistribute before serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the turkey to keep the burgers tender and juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure burgers reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- Adding the thumb indent prevents the burger from puffing up in the center as it cooks.
- Resting the burgers helps redistribute juices for better flavor and moistness.
- Optional toppings and buns can be added to customize your turkey burgers.
