Grilled Turkey Burgers

Grilled Turkey Burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers, offering a juicy flavor with a hint of smokiness. Perfectly seasoned and served on a toasted bun, these burgers are a delightful addition to any BBQ.

Ingredients

• Ground turkey - 400 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2

• Pickles - 4 slices
• Mustard - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until just combined.
2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, about 2 cm thick.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
4. Place the turkey patties on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
5. While the patties are grilling, toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill until golden brown.

7. Serve immediately and enjoy your grilled turkey burgers!
