These turkey burgers come together quickly and cook in just minutes. The key is to handle the meat gently and not overcook it, which can make turkey dry. Follow these steps for juicy, flavorful burgers every time.

For extra flavor variations, try adding different herbs like cilantro or basil, or mix in ingredients like diced bell peppers, grated zucchini, or crumbled feta cheese. Turkey burgers can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before cooking.
