Servings: 5
Equipment
- non-stick frying pan
- or Blackstone flat top
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey *see notes
- 1 Tbsp olive or avocado oil for frying
- 3 Tbsp red onion, minced
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce *see notes
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp thyme
- 5-7 hamburger buns
- 5-7 slices of cheese
- romaine lettuce for toppings
- 1 hot house tomato for topping
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion into a mince. Add turkey, seasonings and Worcestershire sauce. Mix with hand well, make sure everything is evenly mixed. Form 6-7 patties about 2 inches big.
- In a large non-stick pan or on a preheated Blackstone, add oil. Once it's heated, add one turkey burger at a time. Use a greased burger smasher or a greased spatula to press the turkey patty flat immediately into the pan. Add another burger, repeat the process and try to be sure they don't touch. On a the Blackstone, 4 should fit at a time. On a skillet typically 2-3 at the most.
- After about 3 minutes, flip the burger. It should be browned with bits of char. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
- Lay sliced cheese over the burgers, if there is room, add the buns sliced side down. Take everything off after about 1 more minute and layer burger buns with patties, and favorite toppings.
