Are you sad?

I’m sad. Today is the last day of Burger Week. I hope you’ve enjoyed all the recipes thus far, I know I’ve had fun making them and then of course eating them! That’s a no brainer. haha

Have you made any of them yet? Or do you have plans to make them? If so, which one?

At our house, I’ll probably make the Keto Bacon Cheeseburgers again and todays Turkey Burgers! Did you notice that all of the burgers this week didn’t even use ground beef!! Honestly, I didn’t notice until I just wrote it. haha. But it’s true. Mondays recipe was with Salmon, Wednesdays was ground Bison and today is Turkey. Just trying to keep things interesting and broaden your Hamburger Recipe horizons. wink wink.

Are ground turkey burgers healthier than beef?

Ground Turkey burgers are much leaner than ground beef hamburgers. However, just like the bison because they are leaner they can be dry unless you “dress them up” with some good ingredients. One of the ways to keep moisture in the burger while it cooks is to add ingredients like onions or garlic, both of this ingredients “sweat” when they are cooked and keep the burger moist. Another trick is to add in breadcrumbs or almond flour if you’re gluten free, it keeps the juices in the burger while it cooks on the grill instead of dripping off.

How to make Turkey Burgers?

In a large bowl add ground turkey, almond flour, dried parsley, red onion, garlic and black pepper.

Clean grill grates with grill brush and rub grill grates with oil soaked rag.

What temperature is a Turkey Burger done?

Turkey Burgers fit in the poultry category and therefore need to be fulled cooked when eaten. You cannot eat a turkey burger medium rare. Turkey Burgers are done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

I’ve made a couple different kinds of turkey burgers in the past, but usually I add a lot of flavor to the ground meat before they get on the grill. I think what I like about today’s healthy turkey burger recipe is it’s just the basics. Using simple ingredients and cooking it right ensures that the burger comes out perfect every time.

These turkey burgers are flavorful and juicy with a nice char on the outside to give you some added crunch. You’ll love them!

Hands down a must make this summer! So fire up that grill and start knocking out all those burger recipes I just gave you! No excuses!
