Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1¼ pounds ground turkey
- ¼ cup pork rinds panko crumbs or use regular panko crumbs
- ¼ cup yellow onion grated
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika sweet or smoked
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 leaves butterhead lettuce
- prepared coleslaw
- 1 avocado thinly sliced
- small red onion rings
- burger buns split and lightly toasted, for serving, optional
- lettuce leaves for serving, optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine ground turkey, crumbs, onions, garlic, worcestershire sauce, paprika, pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper; mix and stir until thoroughly combined. I recommend using your hands for mixing it all together.
- Divide the mixture into 4 patties.
- Set a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat and add the oil to heat up. To the hot oil add the patties and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until browned on the bottom.
- Flip over and continue to cook for 5 to 7 more minutes, or until internal temperature of the patties registers at 165˚F. Remove them from the heat.
- Place the turkey burgers between two hamburger buns or lettuce leaves.
- Top the burgers with cheddar, lettuce, coleslaw, avocado, and red onions, and serve.
