Instructions

  1. Combine Burger Ingredients: Add all the burger ingredients to a bowl (ground turkey, garlic paste, mustard, mayonnaise, ground paprika, granulated garlic, ground coriander, chopped parsley and egg). Mix everything thoroughly.
  2. Form Patties: Form 4 evenly-sized round patties (3-4 inches in diameter and approx. ½-inch thick).
  3. To Cook in Skillet: Heat up a little oil in a hot skillet and then cook the turkey patties for 4 minutes, then turn the patties over to the other side and fry for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. To Cook in Oven: Preheat the oven to 380F and place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer (alternatively, you may spray the baing sheet with nonstick cooking spray). Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Then flip the burgers to the other side and bake for another 5 minutes.
  5. To Cook in Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 360F and line the air fryer basket with parchment paper before and placing the turkey burgers on top. Fry for about 6 minutes at 360F. Then turn over and fry for another 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Assemble Burger and Serve: Spread the bottom of the bun with mustard or mayonnaise and lay out lettuce leaves. Place a turkey burger patty on top and cover it with cheese. Top with sliced tomatoes and cover with the top of the bun. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Ground Turkey: Since we are making turkey patties, ground turkey is a key ingredient. The type of ground turkey is up to you, but for a more flavorful and moist burger, I suggest using ground turkey made with a higher percentage of fat.

Garlic Paste: You can either use storebought garlic paste, or make your own by grating fresh garlic.

Mustard: I used Dijon mustard, but feel free to use whichever mustard you prefer.

Mayonnaise: I used regular mayonnaise to add moisture.

Spices/Condiments: To flavor the homemade turkey burgers, I added ground paprika, granulated garlic, and ground coriander.

Parsley: I like using fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Alternatively, you may use dried parsley instead.

Egg: The egg helps to bind the turkey burger ingredients together, so make sure you add it in. If you are allergic to eggs, you can use an egg-replacer instead.

Cheese: I used dairy-free cheddar cheese to keep this recipe dairy-free, but if you are not lactose-intolerant, go ahead and use regular cheddar cheese instead.

Veggies: I like sliced tomatoes and some fresh salad greens to go with my burger, but go ahead and use other ingredients (such as pickles, fried bacon, caramelized onions, a sunny side up egg, etc).

Buns: I used gluten-free burger buns to keep this recipe gluten-free (either storebought or homemade gluten-free burger buns will work). However, if you are not Celiac or gluten-intolerant, go ahead and use regular burger buns instead.
