Question 1

Are turkey burgers healthier than beef burgers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you use 93% lean ground turkey, you are going to cut about 40% of the fat that you would get with a normal ground beef burger. However, you should note that this can mean dryer burgers, so you have to be sure not to cook them too long. Turkey also has more unsaturated fat, which is good for you.

Question 2

Is it okay for the cooked burger to be a little pink?

Accepted Answer

Not according to the USDA. The recommendation is that the internal temperature of your ground turkey burgers is 165 degrees F. Use a meat thermometer to check it. However, if you are planning to let them rest for a few minutes under foil before serving, take them off the pan at 163 degrees F. The temperature will go up as it sits.

Question 3

Why are my turkey burgers dry?

Accepted Answer

Ground poultry of any kind can be dry compared to beef burger patties because they do not have as much fat. For extra juicy turkey burgers, add a teaspoon of olive oil to your meat mixture. Another idea is to spritz the burgers with water a few times when you are cooking them. Just do not overdo it or they will fall apart.

Question 4

What is the best onion for this recipe?

Accepted Answer

Although I chose to use yellow onion, you can use red onion for a milder flavor. Yellow onions are the most commonly used and have a spicy and strong flavor. White onions are even sharper than yellow and have a crisp and clean flavor with a kick. For a sweeter burger, use sweet onions. Vidalia onions are the most common and taste great raw or cooked.

Question 5

Should I use bread crumbs?

Accepted Answer

Because ground turkey is not as fatty as ground beef, I typically do not use bread crumbs with it. But if you do, make sure they are ground up finely and do not use too much. Otherwise, you end up with a dry burger that falls apart.
