What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from ground turkey. They offer a convenient way to prepare a leaner alternative to traditional beef burgers. The patties are typically seasoned lightly, allowing for customization with additional spices and toppings. They come ready to cook, saving time in meal preparation. The ground turkey is processed to create a consistent patty shape and texture.
How people cook with it
Turkey burgers are a versatile option for quick weeknight meals or casual gatherings. They can be prepared in various ways to suit different tastes.
- Grilled for outdoor cooking
- Pan-fried on the stovetop
- Baked in the oven
- Served on buns or as a lettuce wrap
To cook, place the frozen or thawed turkey patties on a preheated grill, in a hot skillet with a little oil, or on a baking sheet in a preheated oven. Cook until the internal temperature reaches a safe level and the patties are browned throughout. Ensure they are cooked thoroughly before serving. They can be seasoned further before or after cooking to enhance flavor. Serve immediately with your favorite burger accompaniments.

How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused patties promptly. Keep them in their original packaging or an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze the patties in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Consume within a few days if refrigerated, or within a few months if frozen.
