Herbed-Onion Turkey Burgers
Description
These herbed-onion turkey burgers are a lighter yet deeply flavorful twist on the classic backyard staple. By incorporating dry onion soup mix and mayonnaise, the lean ground turkey stays moist and tender while gaining a robust, savory profile. The addition of fresh thyme and rosemary adds an aromatic complexity that elevates the dish beyond standard fast-food fare. Perfect for summer cookouts or weeknight dinners, these patties are easy to prepare and cook quickly. Serve them on toasted buns with your favorite toppings for a satisfying meal that balances protein-packed goodness with comforting, home-style taste.Ingredients
Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, mayonnaise, dry onion soup mix, minced thyme, rosemary, and pepper.
-
Mix ingredients gently by hand until just combined; do not overmix to keep the burgers tender.
-
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent bulging during cooking.
-
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
-
Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side until browned, then flip and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165&# 194;°F.
-
Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired, then assemble the burgers with your choice of toppings.
