The most important thing you should know while making your turkey burger is that you can’t treat it like ground beef. It’s a different type of meat and should be handled as such.
Instead of just adding the usual seasonings to your meat the secret to making a good turkey burger is to add non-fat greek yogurt. Just adding yogurt to your burger isn’t the only step you need to take to ensure the tastiest burger you’ve ever had. Luckily, the next steps you need isn’t too hard, but you’ll be getting a burger with a crisp exterior and juicy center.

Once the patties are shaped and placed on a baking sheet, place them in a refrigerator. This will help the burgers keep their shape and they should rest before being prepared.
Now that you have the secret steps to making the perfect turkey burger it’s time to prepare. Whether you’re grilling them or searing the burgers in a pan excessive flipping can dry your hard work out.
