Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Tear the bread into pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Add milk, turkey, onion, salt and pepper to taste, cloves and nutmeg. Mix well with your hands.

  2. Step 2

    Form the mixture into eight small patties. Make knife cuts on each patty, lengthwise and then crosswise, so they will look as if they were cooked on a grill. Sprinkle grated cheese over the patty tops.

  3. Step 3

    Put oil in a skillet over high heat. Reduce to medium and cook burgers 4 minutes on each side.

  4. Step 4

    Remove burgers from the skillet and set aside on a warm platter. Pour out the oil and add butter to the skillet. Melt, stirring, over medium heat. Add the vinegar and water, stirring and scraping bottom of pan.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the sauce over the turkey burgers and serve.

These were excellent—lots of flavor. I did add extra tsp of the cider vinegar and extra tbsp water to the sauce as it was very buttery. Next time will try the yogurt/dijon sauce suggested by another commenter.

This is so good and easy- everyone loves them! I actually made the patty and this week swapped a frozen pre made patty. I cooked them the same and no one knew the difference!

These are so good and so easy on a weeknight when everyone is hungry.

Best homemade turkey burgers I've had. My changes, which worked just as well: + Swapped in almond milk and vegan parmesan + Skipped the butter-vinegar drizzle (good idea tho) + Didn't have ground cloves and nutmeg + Used sourdough instead of whole wheat bread Cooked each patty about 3-3.5 minutes per side on a cast-iron skillet at medium-low, and that worked well. Moist! 8 patties come out "slider" size, so consider 6 patties if using full-size hamburger buns.

This is our go to Turkey burger. We like ours on the barbecue with a yogurt and Dejon sauce. Delicious as written. I did use panko just to be quicker.
