Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of ground turkey, 1 finely chopped onion, 1 finely chopped bell pepper, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tsp of paprika, 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of black pepper, 1 egg, and 4 hamburger buns.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and the egg. Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Once the mixture is well combined, divide it into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, you may want to add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill or skillet is hot, carefully place the turkey patties on it. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on one side without moving them to allow a nice crust to form.
- After 5-7 minutes, flip the patties and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the patties are cooking, you can toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are golden brown.
- Once the patties are cooked through, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a minute or two.
- Assemble your burgers by placing each turkey patty on a toasted bun. You can add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, or condiments as desired.
- Serve the onion pepper mix turkey burgers immediately and enjoy your delicious meal!
Tips
- Keep your hands slightly wet when forming patties to prevent the meat from sticking to your fingers.
- Don't overwork the meat mixture, as this can make the burgers tough – mix just until ingredients are combined.
- The indentation in the center of each patty helps prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
- Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your turkey burgers reach the safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- Let the burgers rest for a minute after cooking to help retain their juices and ensure maximum flavor.
- For extra moisture, consider adding a tablespoon of olive oil or Greek yogurt to the meat mixture.
- Experiment with different bell pepper colors for added visual appeal and subtle flavor variations.
