Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 pound ground turkey, preferably around 7% fat
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon oil, for the pan
- 4 brioche or hamburger buns
- Toppings of choice, such as lettuce, tomato, red onion, guacamole, mayonnaise, mustard, or ketchup
Instructions
- Place the oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until finely ground.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, ground oats, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties just under 1 inch thick. If the mixture sticks to your hands, dampen them with a little cold water.
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the patties for 5–6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve on buns with favorite toppings.
Notes
- For juicy burgers: Ground turkey with around 7% fat tends to stay more tender than very lean varieties.
- Don’t overmix: Mix the ingredients just until combined to help keep the patties tender.
- For sliders: Divide the mixture into 8 smaller patties and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side.
- For grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, grease the grates well, and cook the patties for 5–6 minutes per side, or until they reach 165°F.
- Easy customization: Swap the bun for a lettuce wrap or serve the burger patty over a salad for a different way to enjoy it.
