These juicy grilled turkey burgers are perfect for a quick and healthy meal that doesn’t skimp on flavor. Easy to make and packed with delicious spices, they’re sure to become a favorite at your next cookout.
In a big bowl, mix together the turkey, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, onion powder, poultry seasoning, cumin, chili powder, salt, white pepper, and cayenne until everything is well combined. Shape the mixture into four patties and pop them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
When you’re ready, fire up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a light oiling to prevent sticking. Place the patties on the grill, close the lid, and let them cook undisturbed for 6 to 8 minutes.
Flip the burgers over and keep grilling for another 7 to 9 minutes, or until they’re nicely browned and no longer pink inside. If you have a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked through, grab your favorite buns and serve the burgers right away while they’re juicy and hot.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Avoid pressing down on the patties while grilling to keep them juicy.
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking to lock in the moisture.
These burgers are a healthy twist on a classic favorite. They are juicy, flavorful, and perfect for a quick weeknight meal. Using turkey makes them lighter but still satisfying.
Serve with fresh lettuce, tomato, and your favorite condiments on a toasted bun. They go well with sweet potato fries or a crisp green salad for a balanced meal.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the grill to keep them moist and flavorful.
