Original Garlic Turkey Burgers

Ellbee’s Garlic Kitchen Box

Turkey burgers can be tender, juicy, and anything but boring when you build in savory Original Garlic and finish them with a tangy tomato-basil burger sauce. This is a fresh, feel-good grill dinner that still brings all the cheese, crunch, and cookout satisfaction.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground turkey
1.5 tablespoons Ellbee's Original Gourmet Garlic
1 tablespoon Ellbee's Butter Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Ellbee's Tomato Basil Balsamic Vinegar
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
0.5 cup finely chopped onion
0.5 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
8 each burger buns, toasted
lettuce, pickle chips, and caramelized onions, for serving

Method

Gently mix the turkey with Original Garlic, cheddar, onion, and a generous pinch of salt. Shape into eight loose patties and chill for 15 minutes so they hold together beautifully on the grill.
Brush the patties with Butter Olive Oil. Grill over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until browned and the centers reach 165°F.
Stir the mayonnaise with Tomato Basil Balsamic and a pinch of salt for a quick, tangy burger sauce.
Build the turkey burgers on toasted buns with the sauce, lettuce, pickles, caramelized onions, and hot patties. Serve immediately with oven fries or a bright slaw.

Time: 35 min

Kitchen tip: Do not press turkey burgers with a spatula while they cook—that squeezes out the juices you worked so hard to keep in the patties.
