    • About This Recipe

    “My favorite recipe for turkey burgers. Just enough seasonings to make them so much tastier than just plain old turkey burgers, plus the bread crumbs and other added ingredients “bulk up” the turkey, helping you to get more bang for your buck. I always have a few of these in the freezer for summer barbecues when I don’t care to eat beef hamburgers (I have been known to tote one or two of these along with me to family barbecues to throw on the grill whenever I know that beef burgers are going to be the only main dish)”

    Ingredients

  • 1lbground turkey
  • 1/2 cupdry breadcrumbs( I use whole wheat)
  • 3tablespoonsonions, minced

  • 1teaspoonsoy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoonpaprika
  • 2garlic cloves, minced

  • black pepper, to taste
  • 6hamburger buns, to serve

    • Directions

  • Combine all ingredients in large bowl.
  • Shape into 6 patties.

  • Serve in hamburger buns with desired toppings.
  • My fave toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and fat-free/light mayo.

    • Reviews

  • “These were delicious burgers Manda. My family and I thought they were very tasty indeed. I only added some salt and pepper. A very lean and healthy meal Thanks for sharing this.”

  • “Easy,healthy,and best of all very tasty. My husband loved them.”

  • “i felt that these were really bland for all the great ingredients that went into them! i also did not care for the consistancy of the burgers..they almost were like a meatloaf not a burger!”

  • “Great burgers! I omitted the liquid pepper seasoning, and added liquid smoke. The burgers were moist and tender. My 9 year old son loved them! This will be a go to for busy weeknight meals. Thanks!”

  • “These turkey burgers are a super, juicy alternative to beef burgers — and healthier! I’ve made these a few times and everyone loves them. Add a slice of cheese for the last few minutes of grilling. Like Manda, I make large batches and freeze them for easy summer barbecues. For a reliable result, regardless of freezing, it’s best to let the patties sit and get almost to room temperature rather than fridge temperature before grilling. If they’re too cold in the middle, you will need to cook them more slowly and then you will more likely lose the possibility of a nice, crispy searing.”

  • “Awesome burgers!Omitted the soy sauce; added extra garlic, parsley, pepper, Liquid Smoke; only used 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs (glad I did); substituted dried minced onions and TrueLemon powder.Excited to have these again in our lunches tomorrow.Thanks so much!”

  • “Very moist and flavorful, but next time I’ll add less breadcrumbs.The burgers had almost a meatloaf-y consistency, which was a little different than I expected.Still, very good!”

  • “I won’t need to make beef burgers ever again! This recipe is incredibly tasty.Only changes I made were to reduce the breadcrumbs to 1/4 cup, substitute liquid smoke for hot sauce, added salt, and made 4 1/4-lb patties. We will make these often – thanks!”

  • “I’ve made this recipe a number of times.The burgers are great on the grill.”

  • “I made these burgers for the first time yesterday and cooked them in a cast iron skill.One of the best tasting burgers I’ve ever made turkey or otherwise.Although I did have to make some slight variations based on what I had in the kitchen.I didn’t have any lemon juice, so I added 1/4 cup of applesause and I didn’t have any Worcestershire sause, so I left it out.I also added an egg to help hold it together.”

  • “Followed exactly. They were moist but strange. I LOVE turkey and chicken burgers but these had a strange taste that I can only attribute to the worcestershire and maybe the soy. DH would not eat them at all. “

  • “I really wanted to like this, but I guess it just didn’t fit my taste.I couldn’t even make it through one burger.In addition, even though the outside looked well cooked the inside was pink (probably my fault, but a problem none the less) and I had to finish cooking them in the microwave.”

  • “I made these for DH for dinner the other night.When I asked how they were, his reply was “okay” he gave them 3 stars.He felt they were kind of lacking in flavor, especially considering all the great ingredients.”

  • “These turned out really tasty and juicy. They have lots of flavor. I would probably leave out the worcestershire sauce next time. Thanks for sharing the recipe.”

  • “EXCELLENT!These were so simple and sooo very tasty. This will be my go to recipe for turkey burgers from here on.No need to change a thing!Thanks!”

  • “These burgers were amazing!Really easy to make and extremely fast!I put a tablespoon of Worcester Sauce used low sodium Soy and Worcester Sauce; the flavor was great!I will definitely use this recipe again!”

  • “Tried these out today and they were only ok. Things I changed: left out the bread crumbs and instead added 1T flax powder; also used 1T garlic powder instead of the fresh garlic. The spice and flavors just didn’t come through for me. They weren’t bad, just needed stronger flavor. Maybe I’ll add more next time. Tasted more like a meatloaf recipe.”

  • “These were sooooo tasty.All the ingredients went together just perfect.Will use again.Thanks for posting.”

  • “I thought that with all the ingredients, this burger would come out tasting yummy. My family couldn’t stand the taste of the burger consider the turkey takes on whatever ingredient you add. It was awful and almost meatloaf like. I’d rather just add salt and pepper at this point. My son who love burgers with passion HATED it. Sorry.”

  • “Delicious!”
