Ingredients
1 lb turkey burger
1 Tbsp. Kinders’ garlic parmesan seasoning
1 Tbsp. Nature’s All Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Cheese of your choice (e.g., cheddar, Swiss, or Mozzarella)
Lettuce leaves (for topping or to wrap the burger)
Directions
- Prepare the turkey mixture: In a bowl, combine the ground turkey with the Kinders’ garlic parmesan seasoning, Nature’s All seasoning, and sea salt. Mix gently until all the ingredients are well incorporated, but avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender. Divide the turkey mixture into even portions and shape them into patties (about 4 patties for 1 lb of turkey).
- Cook the burgers: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the turkey patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F
- In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt. Serve the turkey burgers on a bun or wrapped in lettuce leaves. Top with lettuce or your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

Notes
Tips:
Choose Lean Turkey: Opt for lean ground turkey (like 93% lean) to keep your burgers flavorful and moist without too much fat.
Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients, mix gently to avoid tough burgers. Overworking the meat can lead to a dense texture.
Chill the Patties: If time allows, chill the formed patties in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them hold their shape better while cooking.
Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure perfectly cooked burgers, use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Add Moisture: If you find turkey burgers can be dry, consider adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the mixture for extra moisture.
Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Avocado, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted red peppers can elevate your turkey burger.
Grill or Broil: Cooking on a grill adds a great smoky flavor, but broiling in the oven is also an excellent option if you don’t have access to an outdoor grill.
Rest Before Serving: Let the cooked burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making them juicier.
