Healthy Recipe: Juicy Turkey Burger

We all crave burgers on a weekly basis, there's no doubt about it. But, as adults, we all realize that maybe we shouldn't indulge on those weekly cravings. Enter the turkey burger. This easy recipe hits all of the key points and satisfies our craving without the guilt of red meat. It's one of our favorite ways to use ground turkey and it's a great option for a weeknight dinner!

INGREDIENTS

You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make these tasty burgers. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here's an overview of what you'll need:

Ground turkey: Use ground thighs - 93% lean - not turkey breast.

Mayonnaise: I like to use avocado oil mayonnaise. Chosen Foods and Kensington's are good brands.

Dijon mustard: This traditional French mustard is creamier and less vinegary than yellow mustard.

Kosher salt and black pepper: If using fine salt, you might want to reduce the amount you use.

Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Make sure your spices are fresh - a stale spice can easily ruin a dish.

Chopped parsley: It's best to use fresh parsley. But you can use a teaspoon of dried parsley instead.

Olive oil: For frying. It's such a delicious oil, but if you'd rather use an oil with a higher smoke point, you can use avocado oil instead.

INSTRUCTIONS

Making turkey burgers is easy! Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps:

Mix the ingredients. In a medium bowl, mix together all the ingredients except for the olive oil.

Form into patties. With wet hands for easier handling, form the mixture into four ½ inch-thick patties.

Cook the burgers. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Then add the patties and cook them until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
