Ingredients
  • 2 pound Ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 Envelope (1-ounce) dry onion
Directions
  1. 1
    In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, mayonnaise, dry onion soup mix, minced thyme, rosemary, and pepper.
  2. 2
    Mix ingredients gently by hand until just combined; do not overmix to keep the burgers tender.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
  5. 5
    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.
  6. 6
    Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired, then assemble the burgers with your choice of toppings.
