Description

These herbed turkey burgers are a lean yet flavorful alternative to traditional beef patties. By mixing ground turkey with fresh dill, green onions, and a touch of Dijon mustard, the patties gain a bright, aromatic profile that keeps them moist and tender. The egg white binds the mixture without adding excess fat, ensuring a clean taste. Served on toasted poppy seed kaiser rolls with crisp lettuce and ripe tomato slices, this dish offers a satisfying crunch and juicy bite. Perfect for summer grilling sessions or a quick weeknight dinner, these burgers deliver hearty satisfaction with a lighter footprint. They pair wonderfully with a side of grilled vegetables or a simple garden salad.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, dill, 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, beaten egg white, salt, and pepper.
  3. Using your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the burgers tender.
  4. Divide the mixture in half and shape into two 4-inch-diameter patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Generously spray the grill rack with nonstick vegetable oil spray.
  6. Place the turkey patties on the grill. Cook until the centers are white but the meat remains juicy, about 6 minutes per side.
  7. While the burgers cook, place the split kaiser rolls cut-side down at the edge of the grill. Toast lightly for about 2 minutes.
  8. Transfer the toasted rolls to plates.
  9. Spread a small amount of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each roll.
  10. Top each bottom roll with a lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey burger, a tomato slice, and the top half of the roll. Serve immediately.
