Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Make patties: In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Use your hands to thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until evenly combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a large burger patty.
- Cook patties: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the turkey patties to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked through.
- Assemble the turkey burger: You can enjoy the cooked patties plain or assemble them by placing each patty on a bun and adding your favorite toppings such as cheddar cheese slices, sliced tomato, sliced onion, caramelized onion, pickles, and lettuce. Dress with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise as desired for extra flavor and moisture.
Notes
- Use 93% lean ground turkey to ensure the patties stay juicy while cooking.
- Be careful not to overmix the turkey mixture to avoid tough burgers.
- Cooking time may vary slightly depending on patty thickness; check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- Feel free to toast the burger buns for added texture and flavor.
- Add cheese slices during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt the cheese perfectly.
