Grilling turkey burgers on gas is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal. Turkey burgers are a great alternative to beef burgers, as they are lower in fat and calories but just as flavorful.

In this blog post, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to gas grill turkey burgers perfectly. We will also share some tips and tricks for making the most flavorful and juicy turkey burgers possible.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your gas grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
3. Form the turkey mixture into 4-6 patties.
4. Place the patties on the grill grates and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
5. Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for Making the Most Flavorful Turkey Burgers

  • Use high-quality ground turkey. The better the quality of the turkey, the better the burgers will taste.
  • Don’t overmix the ingredients. Overmixing can make the burgers tough.
  • Season the burgers generously. Don’t be afraid to add more spices and herbs to taste.
  • Grill the burgers over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Don’t overcook the burgers. Turkey burgers are cooked through when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers, making them more flavorful and juicy.
