Whether you are looking to avoid red meat or looking for a recipe full of protein. This juicy turkey burger is the perfect way to fulfil both needs. It is simple, easy and quick to make too.
Turkey burgers have the reputation for being notoriously dry.. every one knows that a beef burger is much juicer. But it doesn’t have to be that way. My recipe is guaranteed to change your mind with just a few secret ingredients.
My top tips for a Juicy Turkey burger:
- Adding some Fat free Greek style yogurt.. (no it’s not really that weird!)
- Adding an egg to help bind the mixture
- After creating the burger patties we will refrigerate them for 2 – 3 hours (so make sure you do your prep in advance)
