Juicy Gluten-Free Turkey Burgers

SmoothBread3960

These turkey burgers are designed for maximum juiciness and flavor, even on a hot Texas evening! The secret: a touch of mayonnaise and grated onion in the mix keeps the patties incredibly moist without overpowering the turkey’s natural savor. Gluten-free breadcrumbs bind the burgers without sacrificing texture, and a quick grill gives them a gorgeous char. Serve on toasted gluten-free buns with crisp lettuce and ripe tomato for a summer meal that’s light yet satisfying.

Ingredients

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, grated red onion, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
Shape the mixture into 2-4 evenly sized patties, pressing a small dimple in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the turkey burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Avoid pressing down on the burgers to keep them juicy.
Let burgers rest for 2 minutes after grilling to retain juices.
Toast gluten-free buns on the grill for 1 minute, if desired.
Serve burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato, pickles, or your favorite toppings.
