Author: This Worthey Life

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder or garlic granules
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black peppercorns
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour reserved
  • 4 cup canola or vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, and all of the seasonings and mix well.
  • Use a food scale, weigh the turkey mixture at 0.25 ounces or 1/4 pound, and form it into a pattie. 
  •  Add the oil to a deep fryer and heat the oil to 350°F.
  • Carefully dredge each turkey patties through the flour and shake off any excess flour.
  • Place flour-dusted turkey patties on a large platter or sheet pan.
  • Dip turkey patties into the potato batter (recipe up above) and carefully place them into the hot oil.
  • Shake the baskets to make sure the patties don’t stick to the bottom of the basket—Cook one or two at a time.
  • Cook until the batter is golden brown.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the patties and place them on a plate or platter lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. 
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the deep-fried turkey burgers on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and finish them in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • The internal temp of the turkey burgers should read 165 °F using an instant-read thermometer.
  • Serve on a toasted brioche bun with your favorite toppings. 

Notes

To serve, pile on the usual suspects like fresh lettuce, red onions, tomato, smoked gouda, or Swiss cheese onto a toasted brioche bun. I Slathered on mayo and mustard because, for me, they’re a must on a burger!
