Hand Showcase: How many people rolled their eyes when you read “Turkey Burger”? I realize I can’t actually see your hand, but I think 40-50% of you actually raise your hand. I understand, too. For a long time, I didn’t think there was anything to replace a traditional beef burger. That’s the burger, right? They are made of beef and never be teased.

I also learned that for those who have run out of their limbs and tried turkey burgers (at home or in the restaurant), they may also find them dry and bland. I found a solution! It’s all about how wet you are.

If you just bake a bunch of Türkiye without extra moisture, it will be dry. That’s because many of the Turkish mixtures you get at the grocery store are 93/7 or even 99/1, which means they are very low fat mixtures. So 93% or more of the meat is lean, which means you might get a dry burger without the extra help. Once the patties are tossed onto the grill, all the fat is cooked and all you have is the lean portion that will definitely not taste like a juicy burger.

Then, the key is to use some added fat to offset the moisture loss. For example, you can add olive oil, vegetables, or cheese. In this I get the moisture factor by adding onions, olives and feta. The result is this turkey burger is delicious. The results were better than I expected.

It’s moist, full of flavor, and with less than 200 calories. I’m sure the magic happens when you add feta and black olives that prevent turkeys from drying like they do traditionally in turkey burgers.

If you are still skeptical, do yourself a favor and try again. Before grilling or cooking, add your favorite ingredients to the turkey and see if you are not converting. You can also serve it with simple yogurt sheep cheese or another sauce of your choice, let me tell you it will give you a delicious and easy dinner.
