For the Burger Patties:
- 450g ground turkey
- 30g seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 15g dried onion flakes
- 15ml ketchup
- 15ml mustard
- 5ml Worcestershire sauce
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 5g kosher salt

For Serving (optional):

How To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Turkey Burger
- Mix the patty ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, onion flakes, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, and kosher salt.
- Shape and chill the patties: Gently form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Place them on a plate and chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to help them firm up.
- Cook the burgers: Lightly spray a skillet with olive oil and heat it over medium-low heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side. The burgers are done when they are cooked through and a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F (74°C).
- Rest and serve: Let the cooked patties rest for a minute. Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.

Recipe Tips
- How do I keep my turkey burgers from being dry? The most important rule is not to overcook them. Turkey is much leaner than beef, so it dries out quickly. Using a meat thermometer to pull them off the heat as soon as they reach 165°F (74°C) is the best way to guarantee a juicy burger.
- Why chill the patties before cooking? Chilling the formed patties for 10-15 minutes helps them hold their shape much better in the hot pan and prevents them from falling apart when you flip them.
- How do I get a good sear on the outside? Even though you’re cooking on medium-low, make sure your pan is fully preheated before you add the patties. This helps to create a nice golden-brown crust on the outside.
- Can I add other flavors to the patties? Absolutely. Feel free to mix in finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives, or a pinch of smoked paprika for a smokier flavor.
What To Serve With Turkey Burgers
These flavorful turkey burgers are a great base for a classic burger night. Serve them with:
- Sweet potato fries or a side salad
- A creamy coleslaw
- All the classic burger toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles
- A slice of your favorite cheese, like provolone or cheddar
How To Store Turkey Burgers
Refrigerate: Store leftover cooked patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat: Reheat patties gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until just warmed through to avoid drying them out.

FAQs
Can I grill these turkey burgers instead of pan-frying them?
Yes, they are great on the grill. Preheat your grill to medium heat, oil the grates, and grill for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
What’s the best ground turkey to use?
For the juiciest results, look for ground turkey that is not extra-lean. An 85/15 or 90/10 blend will have more flavor and moisture than a 99% lean blend.
Can I make the patties ahead of time?
Yes. You can mix and form the patties, then store them on a plate, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before you plan to cook them.
