FAQ

What to add to ground turkey to give it flavor?

Fresh aromatics are necessary to season ground turkey, including minced garlic and chili powder, as well as chopped red bell pepper, yellow onions, scallions, and cilantro.

How do you grill turkey burgers without falling apart?

Try adding some dry breadcrumbs to the turkey mixture before forming the patties; the crumbs will absorb the moisture and, along with the egg, will act as glue and help your burgers maintain their shape on the grill, just like in a traditional meatloaf.

How long does it take to cook a turkey burger on the grill?

The turkey burgers should be cooked for 10 to 12 minutes over direct medium heat with as much of the lid closed as possible, turning once halfway through.

What to add to ground turkey to make it moist?

I choose to use 1/4 cup of mayonnaise per 1-1/4 pounds of ground meat, but you can also use plain yogurt, ricotta cheese, or spreadable herbed cheese like Aloutte. 2: Even if you start with moister meat, it’s still poultry, so you’ll need to add moisture to the mixture.
