How Long to Cook Turkey Burgers
I find that 6-7 minutes per side on medium heat is perfect for these roasted turkey burgers.
The key is to heat them up to 165°F and then remove them from the heat immediately so they don’t dry out!
What’s a good binder for a turkey burger?
I like to add a lot of moisture to ensure the turkey burger keeps its shape. Not enough moisture will make them dry and crumbly!
For this recipe, we moisten the turkey mixture with coconut aminos and a little chili garlic sauce. Both of these ingredients help create the perfect texture and flavor.
How to make a turkey burger not taste like turkey?
Season them! While there are many different ways to season a burger, this turkey burger recipe might be my favorite.
The meat mixture is seasoned using a mixture of coconut aminos, ginger, chilli garlic paste, and salt, which adds plenty of delicious saltiness and saltiness.
Tips and Notes
- Wrap the turkey tightly, but not too tightly. It should be compressed enough so that the burger patty can hold its shape, but not so tight that it becomes too dense.
- Flip burgers. I recommend frying for 6-7 minutes per side for even cooking.
- Check the temperature. For best texture, use a meat thermometer to verify that the meatloaf has an internal temperature of 165°F. Cooking beyond this can result in a dry, overcooked turkey.
- Use extra ripe mangoes. The riper the mango, the sweeter it tastes.
Edible advice
I like to serve these turkey burgers as lettuce wraps and top with slaw, cauliflower rice, avocado, red onion, ribbon cucumber, and a little Sriracha.
They’re also great as low-carb burger bowls or toasted gluten-free (or regular) burger buns!
