Ingredients

Burgers

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1/4 cup bread crumbs or panko
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Serving Suggestions

6 fresh hamburger buns
sliced tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, thinly sliced onion, jalapeno rings, sliced cheddar cheese, mustard, ketchup

Instructions

Heat your grill to medium-high heat. (450℉) Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add all of the burger ingredients. Mix together with clean hands (or wear gloves) until well combined.
Divide the turkey mixture into six equal portions and form them into patties. Make them about the size needed to fit on your buns your are serving them with. Place the patties onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. With your thumb, press a small divot into the middle of each patty; this will prevent the patty from shrinking on the grill.
If you have time, you can let the patties chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to help prevent them from falling apart on the grill.
Grill the turkey burgers for 4 to 6 minutes on one side, then gently flip them and cook for another 4-5 minutes. At this point, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. They should have an internal temperature of 165º F at the thickest part of the burger. If the temp isn't there yet, flip the burgers once more and cook for another minute or two.
When the burgers are done, remove from the grill onto a clean plate or baking sheet, cover with foil, and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve burgers on buns topped with your favorite burger toppings.
