Turkey Burgers
Ingredients
For The Burgers
- ½ medium onion
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup preferably unsweetened
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns preferably whole grain or sprouted grain
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or use avocado oil spray
For Serving
- Sliced tomato
- Sliced onion
- Iceberg lettuce
- Pickles
- Sliced red pepper
- Ketchup and mustard
Instructions
- Grate the onion on the fine holes of a grater. You should have about two tablespoons of grated onion (and a lot of juice, which you can discard). Place in a bowl with the ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt and pepper. Using a fork, mix together well. Shape into four patties — the mixture will be quite moist — and press the patties into ½-inch thick rounds.
- Heat the avocado oil in a nonstick griddle or large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. (Alternately, spray the griddle or pan with pan spray.) When you can feel the heat while holding your hand just above griddle or pan, cook the patties for five minutes on each side. Serve burgers on buns, with the toppings and condiments of your choice.
