I changed the recipe to make these delicious burgers for more people. I caramelized the onions to give it more depth of flavor. I also added Dijon mustard and real garlic instead of garlic powder. I also cut down on the amount of bread crumbs and made them out of whole wheat to make them a little healthier. I also omitted the soy sauce for the same reason. They came out great. The only thing I would do different next time is to give them just a little heat. Enjoy.

The ingredient list now reflects the servings specified

Directions

  • Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions in the hot oil until tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes; transfer to a large bowl.

  • Mix bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, poultry seasoning, ground mustard, pepper, and salt with the onion. Break the turkey into small pieces into the bowl; mix with the bread crumb mixture until evenly combined. Shape the turkey mixture into 12 patties; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 20 minutes.

  • Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat.

  • Cook the patties in the hot skillet until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

These turkey burgers were simple to put together and very tasty. I liked the carmelized onion flavor that came from browning the onions first instead of putting them in the burgers raw. There wasn't one particular flavor that stood out in these burgers - all the flavors combined just gave them a nice taste without being overpowering. They definitely were very moist! Read More

12.13.17 ... http://allrecipes.com/recipe/230324/moist-turkey-burgers/ ... These were good, really good; & yes, moist; nearly moist like a beef burger. I pretty much 2/3rds this, but didn't change the ratios too much. (2#mixed turkey, 1 1/2c onions, 1/2c breadcrumbs, 1T worcestershire, 1T dijon mustard, 3cl garlic, 1t poultry seasoning, 3/4t dry mustard) I panfried these. They even browned like beef burgers - meaning got crispy dark places. Adding those cooked onions is a good trick - especially with turkey - & if you're using allwhite (which I don't recommend for burgers). Turkey can be dry & flavorless, but this recipe is worth keeping. Thanks! One more thing: These are some big burgers; 9 from 2#. I suppose quarter pound is usual, but I'll make 'em smaller next time. Very filling. Read More

This was one of the best turkey burger recipes I have made. I try not to make changes but I didn't have poultry seasoning. I had something suitable for fish or chicken so I used that and added chopped red pepper for a little more flavor and moisture. They remained moist and held together - I don't like adding eggs as it turns out like a meatloaf in my opinion. Overall they were very good and I will make again. Read More
