Turkey Burgers

Over time my son was conscious of what he ate, forgoing beef burgers for turkey and limiting sugar. I made several turkey burger recipes, some with chutney, roasted pears, or other elaborate ingredients but my kids request the original simple recipe from Everyday Food magazine, “Our Favorite Turkey Burger.” Everyday Food, 2003.

Our Kids Favorite Turkey Burger

Ingredients 

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (not finely ground)
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
  • 1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  1. Heat grill to high. In a medium bowl, use a fork to gently combine ground turkey with Gruyere, scallions, breadcrumbs, mustard, and garlic; season generously with salt and pepper. Gently form mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.
  2. Lightly oil grill. Place patties on hottest part of grill; sear until browned, 2 to 5 minutes per side. Move patties to cooler part of grill; continue grilling until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes per side.
