Best Ever Turkey Burgers
These best ever turkey burgers are anything but average. They are super juicy, topped with caramelized onions and a garlic aioli! They will be a new family favorite!
These best ever turkey burgers are the best burgers I have ever made. Hence the title “best ever”. They are super easy to make, and somewhat guilt free. Using a lean ground turkey rather than full fat beef.
Raise your hand if you love onions. Caramelized onions? I do!
Caramelized onions on burgers is one of my favorite combos. They offer a great taste and texture!
This turkey burger also has shredded onion and onion juice in it! Thats right…onion juice. Bet ya never thought of doing that! And if you did, your genius. Because that was a first for me! And boy did it make all the difference in taste.
Theres also some mayonnaise in the burger mixture, which gives it that nice juiciness!
This recipe is so good and so easy that I’ve made it three times already. I discovered this recipe a week ago…
So good!
I also must warn, this burger, just like most burgers is a messy one! The aioli drips over the sides and it will get all over your hands. But, lets be serious. The mess is 100% worth it!
Is it truly a burger if it doesn’t leave a mess on your hands, or face?
If you make this recipe, I hope you enjoy it!
