The first time I ever tried making turkey burgers was honestly less than great, the burgers came out dry and tasteless. I wanted a burger, but I wanted it to be light and lean. So, not knowing what I was doing I just bought some ground turkey, and made simple burger patties out of it and cooked them in a pan on the stove top, exactly the way I would have cooked a ground beef burger. That right there was the mistake, because turkey is so lean and needs to be cooked all the way through all of the fat cooks out long before it's done drying out the final product. It was a long time before I was willing to try again, but eventually I searched around the Internet and realized I needed to find a way to add moisture and flavor and eventually I developed this recipe.
I know some people really don't like looking at raw poultry, especially in ground form so there aren't as many pictures with this recipe. Also, you will notice sweet potato fries on the plate in the pictures, I am still perfecting that recipe so I'm not sharing it today, but eventually I will I promise.
Ingredients:
1lb Ground Turkey Meat (I buy 99% lean)
1 Small Onion
2-3 Tbs Chunky Salsa (make sure it's a chunky kind and that it's fairly wet)
Chili Powder
2 Tbs Olive Oil
Step 1:
Dice the small onion. Make a well in the center of the ground turkey, add the onion and salsa, mix together. The mixture will be fairly mushy. Form the mixture into patties, for 1lb of meat I make 4 patties. Dust both sides of the patties with the chili powder.
Step 2:
Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Once heated add the patties. Cook on one side until sides begin to firm, flip. Continue cooking for several minutes on each side and flipping. To cook all the way through takes about 20-30 minutes.
Once done serve up and enjoy!!
