Turkey Burger on Wheat Bun Recipe

American · Main course · 27 min total

A juicy, flavorful turkey burger seasoned with herbs and spices, served on a whole wheat bun with classic toppings. Perfect for a healthier twist on a backyard favorite.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 4 slices tomato
• 4 slices red onion (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
2. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F). Lightly oil the grates.
4. Grill patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Avoid pressing down on patties.
5. During the last minute of grilling, place buns cut-side down on the grill to toast lightly.
6. Assemble burgers: place lettuce, tomato, and onion on bottom bun, top with patty, then cover with top bun.

Tips

• For extra moisture, add 1 tablespoon olive oil or grated zucchini to the turkey mixture.
• Serve with your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayo.
• Leftover cooked patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
