Prepare the mixture
- In a large bowl, combine turkey, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, oregano, and dill. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Do not overmix the meat mixture, which can make the burgers dense.
Form the turkey patties
- Divide the turkey mixture into 4-6 equal portions. I like making smaller patties, so I ended up with 6. Shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the skillet
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add two tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the skillet to heat up for about 2 minutes.
Cook the burgers
- Place the patties in the hot cast-iron skillet. Cook on the first side without moving them for 5-6 minutes to develop a nice crust.
- Flip the patties gently and cook on the second side for 5-7 minutes, or use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature until it reaches 165°F (74°C). You want to achieve a nice golden brown color.
Rest the burgers
- Transfer the burgers to a plate and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. This helps keep them juicy.
- Add your favorite toppings
Notes
Ground Turkey: Swap it with ground chicken for a similar lean protein option with comparable flavor and texture. Onion: Use shallots for a milder, slightly sweeter flavor or green onions for a lighter, fresh taste. Olive Oil: Replace with avocado oil, another healthy option with a high smoke point. Oregano and Dill: For a fresh herbal twist, try Italian seasoning, basil, thyme, or parsley. Add cumin or paprika for a smoky, slightly spicy flavor, or add any of your favorite seasonings. Storage and Reheating Cooked turkey burgers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For extended storage, wrap each burger individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheating Instructions: Stovetop: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a slight drizzle of olive oil. Cook the burgers for 3-4 minutes per side until thoroughly warmed. Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the burgers on a baking sheet and cover with foil to retain moisture. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Microwave: Place the burger on a microwave-safe plate and cover it with a damp paper towel. Heat on medium power for 1-2 minutes, checking halfway to avoid overcooking. Air Fryer: Heat at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to achieve a crispy texture, flipping halfway through.
