This Gruyere Turkey Burger is a great addition to your usual burger rotation. While some turkey burgers are known for drying out and being tasteless, that is something you won’t have to worry about with this recipe. Here are some helpful tips to get you started on your way to making the turkey burger a new household favorite:

  • Start from scratch. Having total control over your ingredients and the quality of meat make a big difference when it comes to burgers.
  • Adding a healthy fat to the ground meat, such as olive oil, helps keep turkey burgers moist during the cooking process.
  • Try not to flip your turkey burgers more than once. Flipping too often slows down the cooking process and dries out your burger.
  • Try adding vegetables to your ground meat. Here we used onions, but other options could be mushrooms, spinach or even roasted eggplant.
  • Get creative with seasonings, the possibilities are endless!
