MOIST TURKEY BURGERS



Moist Turkey Burgers image

I changed the recipe to make these delicious burgers for more people. I caramelized the onions to give it more depth of flavor. I also added Dijon mustard and real garlic instead of garlic powder. I also cut down on the amount of bread crumbs and made them out of whole wheat to make them a little healthier. I also omitted the soy sauce for the same reason. They came out great. The only thing I would do different next time is to give them just a little heat. Enjoy.

KITTENCAL'S MOIST TURKEY BURGERS FOR THE GRILL (LOW FAT)



Kittencal's Moist Turkey Burgers for the Grill (Low Fat) image

The addition of shredded carrots is the secret ingredient to the most juicy moist turkey burgers so please don't omit them! these are delicious done on the grill I make these quite often and my family loves them and they are low fat too --- they may be broiled or pan-fried but they are much better if prepared on the grill or even an indoor grill would be great! This recipe makes approx 8 turkey burgers, depending on how large you make them, you might want to double or triple the amounts and freeze the patties --- Mrs. Dash seasoning may be replaced for the seasoned salt if you are on a low sodium diet --- plan ahead the patties must chill for 4-24 hours to blend flavors, the longer chilling time the better! --- for the best flavor use seasoned salt not white salt and if you are a garlic-lover then increase to 2 tablespoons, for my garlic-loving family I use about 6 garlic cloves, and my family loves lots of heat so I also add in 2 tablespoons of crushed chili flakes

Time 4h12m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs ground turkey (preferably mixed white and dark meat)
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot (DO NOT squeeze out any moisture in the carrots!)
2 green onions, finely chopped (or use 1 small onion)
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh garlic (about 3 cloves, or use 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder)
2 teaspoons seasoning salt (can reduce to 1-1/2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3-1/2 cup hickory-flavor barbecue sauce (can use more you may need to increase the breadcrumbs if increasing the BBQ sauce)
1/2-1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey with all the ingredients; mix well to combine (if you find the mixture is too moist you can add in a small amount more of bread crumbs).
  • Shape into patties, then place the patties on a plate and cover with plastic wrap; chill for 4-24 hours to blend flavors (24 hours is even better!).
  • Place on the barbecue and grill until done (about 12-15 minutes) if made on a outdoor grill.
  • DELICIOUS!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ground turkey. This will ensure that your burgers are moist and flavorful.
  • Season the turkey burgers well. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overmix the turkey burgers. Overmixing can make them tough. Just mix them until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Cook the turkey burgers over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't overcook the turkey burgers. Overcooked turkey burgers will be dry and tough. Cook them until they are just cooked through, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the turkey burgers immediately. They are best when they are fresh off the grill or out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Turkey burgers are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are lower in fat and calories, and they are a good source of protein and nutrients. With a little planning and preparation, you can make delicious turkey burgers that your whole family will love.
