Juicy Turkey Burger Recipe with Caramelized Onions

A tender, flavorful juicy turkey burger recipe made with the best seasoning then topped with mashed avocado, tomato and caramelized onions.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 small white onion (sliced)
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• Salt + pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 hamburger buns
• 2 ripe avocados (mashed)
• 4 tomato slices
• Optional: mayo, simple slaw, lettuce

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add onions and let them cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 45 minutes. Keep it low and slow. Trust me, it's worth the wait.*
2. 2In the meantime, make the turkey burgers. In a bowl, add ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix together until well combined.
3. 3Form ground turkey into 4 burger patties and place them in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up a bit.
4. 4In a hot skillet, add olive oil. Cook turkey patties on medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and the internal temp should be 165°F. Transfer them to a plate.
5. 5To assemble, add mashed avocado on toasted buns then add tomato slices, turkey burgers, and top with caramelized onions. Serve and enjoy!
