Tips:

  • Use a food processor to make quick work of the cucumber and turkey. This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly mixed.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cucumber and turkey by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • Season the turkey burgers well with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor of the meat.
  • Don't overcook the turkey burgers. They should be cooked through, but they should still be juicy. Overcooked turkey burgers will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the turkey burgers on buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.
