Turkey Burger Recipe

This turkey burger recipe produces juicy, well-seasoned burgers that offer a lighter alternative to classic beef patties without compromising on flavor or texture. Using simple, everyday ingredients, these burgers stay tender and moist while cooking evenly in a skillet, on the grill, in the oven, or even in an air fryer. They’re a practical choice for busy weeknight dinners, meal prepping ahead of time, or casual outdoor grilling. Plus, they freeze exceptionally well, making them a convenient option for quick meals later on.

• 3 pounds ground turkey
• ¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
• ¼ cup finely diced onion
