The Easiest Turkey Burgers

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey (90 to 93 percent lean)

1 large egg (lightly beaten)

1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Kosher salt for sprinkling

Whole grain buns (English muffins, or roasted Portabello mushroom caps, optional)

Lettuce (tomato, sliced onions, pickles, ketchup or BBQ sauce, optional)

Directions

Add the ground turkey, egg, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder to a large bowl, and mix to combine until well blended. Gently combine using your hands or a spatula. Form the mixture into 6 large patties.

Liberally coat a large skillet with nonstick oil spray and warm over medium-high heat. Place 3 or 4 patties in the skillet. Mist the tops with oil spray and sprinkle them with salt. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, then carefully flip, scraping the bottom to keep them intact. Next, lightly sprinkle the browned tops with salt and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165˚.

Reapply oil spray to the skillet and repeat with the remaining burgers.

Serve the burgers on toasted whole-grain hamburger buns or roasted Portabello mushroom caps with your choice of toppings.
