Turkey Burger Recipe

To a medium bowl, add the ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and black pepper.

Using a spoon or your hands, mix until the ingredients are well combined.

Divide the turkey mixture into 8 portions. Using lightly oiled hands, press each portion into a patty that is about ½-inch thick and 4 inches in diameter. Place the shaped patties on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Use your thumb to create an indentation in the center of each patty, then place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Preheat the grill to 450℉. Use a grill brush to clean the grates, if needed.

Remove the patties from the freezer. Oil the grill grates by spritzing a paper towel with cooking spray or olive oil and using a pair of tongs to wipe the towel over the hot grate.

Add the patties directly to the grate (preferably over indirect heat to prevent burning or flareups) and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side.

Flip the patties then cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side with the grill lid closed. Cook until the meat registers 165℉ on an instant read thermometer when inserted into the thickest patty.

Remove patties from the grill and serve as desired with buns and desired toppings.
