Ingredients
For Burger Patties
1 ½ pounds ground turkey (93% lean)
½ cup finely grated Gruyère cheese
4 scallions, thinly sliced
¼ cup dried breadcrumbs
¼ cup Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Avocado oil (or your preferred cooking oil)
Optional Toppings
Sliced Avocado, Lettuce, Sliced Red Onion, Pickles, Mayo or Aioli, Burger Buns, Additional Sliced Cheese
Instructions
Make The Patties: In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, Gruyère cheese, scallions, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough burgers. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a 1-inch-thick patty.
Cook On Grill: Heat the grill to high. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the patties on the hottest part of the grill and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned. Move the patties to a cooler part of the grill. Continue grilling for 5 to 10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Cook On Stove Top: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until a golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Serve: Serve the turkey burgers on toasted buns with your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, or additional Dijon mustard. For a lighter option, wrap the patties in lettuce leaves or serve over a mixed green salad.
