Ingredients
- 3 lbs ground turkey (93% lean, 7% fat)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole grain, or gluten-free options work)
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or preferred alternative)
- 1 Vidalia onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh minced parsley
- 1 tbsp fresh minced dill weed
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Binder : In a small mixing bowl, tear the slices of bread into small pieces. Pour the milk over the bread and let it soak for 2-3 minutes until softened. Mash the mixture with a fork to form a paste.
- Combine the Ingredients : In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, soaked bread mixture, beaten eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, dill, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Shape the Patties : Divide the mixture into 8-10 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the Patties : Refrigerate the patties for 20-30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape during cooking.
- Cook the Burgers : Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil and cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, flipping once.
- Serve : Serve the turkey burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or aioli. For a low-carb option, serve on lettuce wraps or over a bed of greens.
