Lmao ppl buy turkey because its less fat. Whats the point of adding butter if ur trying to save calories? If i wanted a 93% burger Id just get ground beef
Ooo that looks amazing. What about subbing bacon grease for butter? Think I’ll give that a go.
Horseradish sauce😋
I’ve made ATK’s turkey burgers and they are AMAZING! By far the best turkey burgers I’ve ever had! I highly recommend.
I'd go for cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and onion. I'm a more-is-more kinda gal x)
OR, I'd do cheese, onion, lettuce, mayo on the bun, and a fried egg. tough call
So basically we need 12 extra hoops to make turkey burgers even "good". Noted.
Handsome Dan delivers again. I plan to make these just for the experience.
With my medical conditions, you just turned a healthy meal to my last meal 😢😂
Cranberry mayo. Or, BBQ sauce versus ketchup.
Toppings (not all on the same burger): guacamole, chutney, onion jam, spicy slaw. . .. .
Dan, only you and the ATK team can take a B-team meal like a turkey burger, get me curious, educated, and then totally on board
The perfect turkey burger is made by substituting beef for the turkey
Mustard goes on te bottom bun!
I typically use ground turkey to make Greek-style burgers; adding Greek seasoning blend, black olives, and feta to the meat and smearing the bun with tzatziki sauce. This looks to be a perfect way to add moisture to an already tasty dish I make!
This turkey burger recipe is the ONLY turkey burger recipe that matters. It is perfection.
Hey! Happy Birthday! 🎈🎂
We like to use chicken schmaltz in our non beef burgers (beef ones sometimes too). Kind of expected something similar here too but will have to try some of these techniques
This reminds me of that Parks and Rec episode
Curious how this would work for alternative ground meat, like Impossible. 🤔 I might have to give it a try.
I would add chopped red onion to the meat before cooking and kosher dill pickle slices to the sandwich. Can’t wait to try your suggestions.
Mayo (because it IS the best), mustard, pickle, sweet onion
Happy Birthday! 🥳
I have always liked the tiny diced apples and curry version of turkey burgers. And then bbq sauce instead of ketchup. And spritz worstechire into each toasted bun
Awesome.
I do 85% ground turkey mixed 50/50 with ground pork. Makes for great smashburgers. Lately been topping them with thin sliced dill pickle, sweet onion, cheddar or american, shredded lettuce and big mac sauce (3 parts mayo, 1 mustard, 1 relish, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika)
Stop eating animals! Go vegan if you don’t want to pay for suffering. Every turkey is artificially inseminated via extracting their semen manually. It’s fucked up and wrong.
No way I eat raw meat. So these would be delicious and fully cooked.
