Tips:
- Use a variety of ground turkey. Ground turkey breast is leaner and has less flavor than ground turkey thigh. Using a combination of both will give your burgers a good balance of flavor and texture.
- Add some moisture to the turkey. Ground turkey can be dry, so it's important to add some moisture to it before cooking. This can be done by adding eggs, breadcrumbs, or vegetables to the mixture.
- Season the turkey well. Turkey has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful burger.
- Don't overcook the burgers. Turkey burgers should be cooked until they are no longer pink in the center. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
- Serve the burgers on your favorite bun. Turkey burgers can be served on a variety of buns, including hamburger buns, brioche buns, and even lettuce wraps.
