Yes you can prep the patties a day in advance, just keep in mind they may stick the the surface a bit (even on parchment) so you may have to do a little reshaping. If doing so you may want to freeze for 10 minutes first to help the patties hold their shape even better. Yes these could also be grilled over medium high heat (it should take approximately 4 – 6 minutes per side). Insert an instant read thermometer in to the center of the turkey patty (halfway through the thickness) it should register 165 degrees when it’s fully cooked through.

How to Tell When a Turkey Burger is Done? Sear and cook burgers through: add turkey patties and sear until browned on bottom, about 4 – 5 minutes, flip and continue to cook until cooked through, about 4 – 5 minutes longer.Heat the skillet: preheat olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes.Shape into patties: divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 1/2-inch thick.Gently toss and break up meat mixture to evenly blend.Add mayonnaise and drizzle in Worcestershire sauce.Sprinkle in breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix all ingredients except oil: add ground turkey to a medium mixing bowl.Olive oil – I like to keep it healthy with olive oil but vegetable oil will work great too.It may be a small amount but it adds lots of depth. Worcestershire sauce – this helps mimic that rich flavor of a traditional beef burger.I prefer light mayonnaise but regular will work too. Mayonnaise – these keep the burgers nice and juicy.Garlic powder and onion powder – I like that these are more mild than fresh so the aren’t overpowering flavors here.Salt and pepper – keep in mind you may be adding salty toppings so don’t overdue it.Dried breadcrumbs – preferably unseasoned.

Lean ground turkey – I recommend sticking with Jennie-O brand, it’s not nearly as wet as some other brands.If you’ve never tried a turkey burger or if you normally opt for the pre-formed patties I highly recommend trying these, you won’t be disappointed! They’re good enough though you could even just serve them plain. I serve them two ways, either in buns with toppings or protein style with just lettuce leaves, mashed avocado and other toppings. Of course they’re the perfect thing to make for summer parties but it’s also a great recipe for busy weeknights with the minimal prep and short cook time.
