Turkey burgers
2
Use a thermometer to ensure you don’t overcook and dry out the turkey burgers. They’ll continue cooking for a few minutes after being taken off the heat, so cook them to an internal temperature of 160°F. Allow them to rest a few minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Onion, 1 cup(s), chopped, measured after chopping in food processor
- Ground turkey, extremely lean, ½ lb(s), look for "ground turkey breast" or "fat-free ground turkey"
- Garlic powder, ½ tsp(s)
- Onion powder, ½ tsp(s)
- Cumin, ground, ½ tsp(s)
- Cilantro, fresh, 2 tbsp(s), chopped
- Salt, ½ tsp(s)
- Black pepper, ¼ tsp(s), ground
- Eggs, 1 large
- Olive oil spray, 1 x two-second spray(s)
- Panko breadcrumbs, ¼ cup(s), (to be used if mixture is too wet)
Method
Chop the onion in a food processor. In a medium bowl, mix the turkey breast, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cilantro, salt, pepper and egg.
Heat a grill or medium nonstick sauté pan to medium heat. Lightly coat the grill or pan with cooking spray. Form the burger mixture into two 4-ounce patties. If the mixture is too wet, add the panko.
Place the patties on the grill or in the pan and cook approximately 5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove the patties from the heat and let rest until reaching a temperature of 165°F.
Serve the turkey burger patties on whole wheat buns with your choice of condiments.
