Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.75 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Burger buns
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 cup Alfalfa sprouts
- 0.5 cup Garlic aioli (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being cautious not to overwork the mixture to ensure tender burgers.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Use your thumb to create a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
Step 3
Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat and add the olive oil to prevent sticking. Once hot, place the patties on the surface and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 4
While the burgers are cooking, slice the avocado and tomato into thin slices, and prepare the alfalfa sprouts.
Step 5
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Step 6
Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of garlic aioli on the bottom bun, then layer with the cooked turkey patty, avocado slices, tomato slices, and alfalfa sprouts. Add additional aioli to the top bun if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your California Turkey Burgers!
