Introduction

Moist, delicious and flavorful turkey burger! The addition of the mayonnaise adds a little needed fat to keep it moist, and you can't taste it at all. Great to freeze and have on hand for a quick meal! Moist, delicious and flavorful turkey burger!

Number of Servings: 2

Ingredients

    10 oz. ground turkey (93% lean)
    1/2 medium shallot, minced (about 1 1/2 Tablespoon)
    1/4 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
    1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
    1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
    1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
    1 teaspoon Light Mayonnaise (Hellman's preferred)
    1/4 teaspoon Tabasco Chipotle Sauce
    1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce


Directions

Mix all ingredients into ground turkey (using your hands seems to work best).

Divide mixture in half and form into 2 patties.

Heat grill to medium high. Would also work well in a skillet/grill pan on the stove top.

Spray grill with some cooking spray so the burgers don't stick.

Cook burgers 7 1/2 minutes on each side. Serve.

Makes 2 burgers.

We serve on Aunt Millie's Deluxe Whole Grain Buns.

*It would also work well making slightly smaller burgers with 1 lb. of meat yielding 4 burgers.

    This was absolutely delicious. I didn't even have to add cheese or any condiments; it was great as it was. I will definitely make this again! - 5/1/10

    I reduced the sodium by eliminating the kosher salt. Otherwise, I would have rated it higher. - 6/10/09

    Very good, but a bit too salty. I think I would cut out the regular salt next time, and just use the seasoning salt. I used a bit of chili powder instead of Tabasco, as well. - 10/4/11

    I give this three stars because the burgers were very tasty and my whole family liked them. However, then fell apart when we cooked them. - 8/7/13

    I have been making these burgers for a couple of years now. I NEVER thought I would like any turkey burger until I tried this one. I double the recipe so we can have them for lunch. They disappear when I make them for friends, neighbors and relatives. (I reduce the kosher salt, too!) Enjoy! - 7/8/13

    I make a slightly smaller burger and leave out the kosher salt. The Worchester sauce adds plenty of flavor. - 6/12/13

    This is my go to burger. Anytime I have leftover burger I make this. I usually add Jalapeno, but then I add that to everything. - 6/12/13

    Great way to season what can otherwise be a somewhat bland burger. And I didn't even use Tobasco! Served burger on a bed of greens rather than in a bun. - 4/30/13

    I've been using this recipe for years now and never gave a proper review...These burgers are amazingly good. So juicy and full of flavor. For parties, I make 'mini burgers' with crescent roll dough and they are usually gone within ten minutes! Friends ask me to make them all the time! Thank you! - 3/29/13

    This was fantastic!!! All my kids (9,13, and 15) loved these burgers, and they were a hit with the adults as well. No condiments necessary. Moist and delicious as is! I substituted chili sauce for the tabasco and soy sauce for the worcestershire as I did not have those ingredients at home. YUM!! - 6/5/12

    Really enjoyed this recipe. I used a white onion instead of scalions and it turned out great. I think next time I'm going to add some green peppers into the meat before cooking. Will deffinately use this recipe again! - 7/21/11

    These are delicious! I make them in large batches so I can throw them on the grill for a quick meal during the week. Really doesn't need anything but I replace the shallot with minced onion. Still tastes great! For those who commented that it falls apart, any turkey burger will. Grill on foil first. - 5/14/18

    I didn't add the salt as it's something I don't normally use unless I have to. I also omitted the mayonnaise and replaced it with mustard which provided a new tangy taste. These are the only burgers I enjoy. - 5/20/17

    I thought this recipe was very good and would definitely make it again. It's also easy to modify for those who prefer less salt and to change up with other ingredients and spices. If you generally stay away from turkey burgers try this one and see what you think. - 6/22/14
