Crispy Skillet Turkey Burgers

By lorik

Be sure to use 93 percent lean ground turkey, not 99 percent fat-free ground turkey breast, in this recipe or the burgers will be tough. Serve with your favorite burger toppings, including Pickled Onions (see related content).

Ingredients

• Ingredients
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 4 hamburger buns, toasted and buttered

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine turkey, panko, Monterey Jack, mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in bowl. Using your hands, pat turkey mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties, about 4 inches in diameter. Season patties with salt and pepper.

2. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add patties and cook until well browned and meat registers 160 degrees, about 5 minutes per side.

3. Place burgers on buns and serve.
