Directions for Baked Turkey Burgers
Let’s whip up these Baked Turkey Burgers—delicious Juicy Turkey Patties!
Mix the Meat
In a large bowl, I combine 1.5 lb ground turkey, 1 egg, 2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp rosemary, and 1 tsp thyme. I gently mix with my hands to blend spices for tender Juicy Turkey Patties, avoiding overworking.
Shape the Patties
I divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form ½-inch thick patties. I place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing evenly for Baked Turkey Burgers.
Bake the Burgers
I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). I bake the patties for 25–30 minutes, ensuring an internal temperature of 165°F for safe, moist turkey patties.
Cool and Serve
I remove the patties from the oven and rest them for 5 minutes to seal in juices. I serve Baked Turkey Burgers on buns with favorite toppings.
