These Fried Turkey Burgers are easy and delicious. Lean ground turkey is combined with onion, garlic, mayo, and Worcestershire sauce then pan fried on the stove top.
For the healthiest option look for at least 90 percent lean white turkey meat. The burger will still come out moist because of the other ingredients we are adding to it.
These juicy turkey burgers make a great lunch or dinner.

Equipment used in this recipe:
How to make Fried Turkey Burgers:
Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
Dice the onion into very fine pieces and pat very dry with paper towel.
Add the ground turkey, finely diced onion, garlic, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Using your hands or a fork, mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the burger mixture into 4 equal portions.
Lightly coat your hands in oil (or mist with nonstick cooking spray) and form each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. The mixture will be wet so they won’t look perfect. Set them on the prepared baking sheet.
Place in the freezer to chill for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, pre-heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the skillet.
Remove the turkey burgers from the freezer. Finish forming them into 1/2-inch-thick patties if necessary.
Transfer to the hot skillet and cook for 5 – 6 minutes.
Flip them over and cook another 5 – 6 minutes. The internal temp for turkey burgers should be 160 degrees F.
Allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving then add buns and your favorite toppings, if desired.
