World's Best Turkey Burger

- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 2 lbs ground turkey (I use 7% fat rather than fat free)
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2⁄3 cup ricotta cheese
directions
- Mix all ingredients together with hands.
- Form into patties of desired size and thickness. If you keep them fairly thick, they will be moister.
- Place into lightly greased, non stick skillet (I like using my cast iron skillet)on medium high. Cook without moving until bottom side is dark brown and crusted - appx 4-5 minutes.
- Turn over, then reduce heat to medium and cook 8-10 minutes longer or until center is no longer pink and juices run clear.
- I serve on ciabatta rolls with mayo, more Dijon, a slice of pepper jack cheese, lettuce and tomato. Yum!

Very very nice!! I despise turkey--don't even like it at holiday dinners--but this was a great way to add a healthy alternative to a weeknight meal. I halved the recipe and use 1 egg instead of the ricotta. This made for a very mushy meat mixture when forming patties, but it cooked up nicely in my Foreman grill (around 7-8 minutes in the preheated grill). Will definitely make again!!!

I have not made a turkey burger any other way since finding this recipe. However, I make each one of my burgers in a 6 cup muffin/cupcake pan and bake them in the oven at 350 for about 25-30 minutes. Depending on your muffin pan size it makes smaller burgers that I then put on those Hawaiian Bread buns. A grilled bun, a little mayo and ketchup is all I use.

Beautiful!!! Thank you for this recipe! Finally a turkey burger with some taste - and without adding a lot of fat and calories. Lovely color when done and not too dry. I used Mrs. Dash Roasted Garlic instead of the garlic powder and only used about a quarter of the salt. My only changes just because I'm watching sodium right now. Perfect! Can't wait to make again!

These were the best turkey burgers I have tried. I used ricotta cheese and Italian spice instead of the rosemary and thyme. I grilled them on my George Forman grill, and topped with Swiss cheese, arugula, and tomato slices. Some mayo with chopped hot pickled jalapenos. Nice and moist and will definitely save this one to use again
