Barefoot Contessa Turkey Burger Recipe

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix with a fork to combine.

Step 2

Into the same bowl, go ahead and add the ground turkey and mix gently with the fork until just combined, make sure not to overwork the meat.

Step 3

Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions and shape it into 1/2-inch-thick patties.

Step 4

Since turkey tends to be more delicate than beef, you'll want to freeze the patties for about 30 minutes before grilling. Arrange the patties in a single layer in a parchment paper-lined baking dish and freeze.

Step 5

Ensure that your grill grates are clean and that the grill is heated to medium-high temperature. Oil the grill grates well to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Grill your Barefoot Contessa Turkey Burger for about 6 minutes per side, until they are cooked through.

Step 7

Heat up your skillet or grill pan on medium heat and add about one tablespoon of olive oil or other cooking oil.

Step 8

Cook the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until they're cooked through. I usually cover the skillet with a lid while they cook on the first side so that they cook through without over-browning.

Step 9

Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.

Step 10

In a 400°F oven, bake turkey burgers for about 20 minutes, or until they reach 165 degrees F.

Step 11

After the first 10 minutes of cooking, flip the burgers over to the other side.
