Ingredients

  • 1 pound ButcherBox ground turkey
  • 1 whole yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped (Optional)

Instructions

  • Dice ½ peeled onion into a mince of small pieces.
  • Mix ground turkey, minced onion, dried oregano, garlic powder, cumin powder, fresh black pepper, a pinch of kosher salt, and paprika in a bowl.
  • Add olive oil. (You can substitute with butter or any other cooking oil.)
  • From the mixture, create four, medium-sized burgers, about ½ an inch each.
  • Lightly coat with olive oil and place on the medium-hot section of your grill.
  • Grill for 1½ minutes and turn clockwise for even cooking. After 5 minutes, flip burgers and add BBQ sauce or your favorite sauce. Turn after another 1½ minutes. After about another 2-5 minutes, move to a cooler side of the grill for a few minutes and add cheese and other toppings.
  • Turkey burgers are done when they reach 165°F. Enjoy!
