Ingredients

1 lb. lean ground turkey $3.64*
1½ Tbsp soy sauce $0.05
3 Tbsp shredded Parmesan $1.23
3 Tbsp Panko breadcrumbs $0.42**
4 hamburger buns $1.81

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, soy sauce, shredded Parmesan, and Panko breadcrumbs, using your hands to mix. Form 4 patties and set aside.
Preheat the grill to 375°F, but add your turkey burger patties to the grill while it’s still cold. The gradual increase in temperature will make sure the inside of your burger reaches proper doneness (165°F) while the outside has some color and is grilled to perfection!
Cook for 15 minutes on each side. Your burgers are done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Notes

*I found 85% lean and 15% fat to be the best ground turkey for turkey burgers, but any fat % will come out delicious with this recipe.

**Helps give the turkey a more pleasant texture…do not skip the panko! During my recipe testing, I found that panko specifically sends this burger over the top whereas regular breadcrumbs didn’t help the texture as much.
