Makes: 4 servings
Prep Time: 30 min - 24 hours
Cook Time: 30 - 50 minutes

Ingredients:

Onion, minced and grilled
Ground Turkey
Tomato Paste or Tomato Puree
Soy Sauce
Worcestershire Sauce
English Muffins, toasted

Toppings:

• Cole Slaw
• BBQ Sauce
• Ketchup
• Any Additional Toppings

Addtional Items:

• Baking Sheet
• Parchment Paper or Waxed Paper
• Large Bowl
• Instant-read Thermometer

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, onions, tomato paste, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
Mix just until everything comes together. Make sure not to overmix!
Using your hands, form the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into 1-inch thick patties.
Transfer them to the lined baking sheet and chill for at least 30 minutes. This can be done up to a day in advance.
Preheat your grill to medium high heat (450℉).
Once the grill has reached temperature, it’s time to oil the grates.
Notes: This prevents the burgers from sticking and helps facilitate those classic grill marks! Using grilling tongs, rub the grates with a wax of paper towels dipped in canola oil, making sure to coat the grates well. Give the grill 5 - 10 minutes to get back up to temperature after oiling.
With a metal spatula, transfer the chilled patties on to the grill.
Grill for about 5 - 6 minutes then flip and grill for another 5 - 6 minutes, until the burgers are slightly charred and golden. An instant read thermometer will reach 165℉ when the burgers are done.
Once they are done, transfer patties to a serving platter.
Serve on toasted English muffins with a healthy dollop of coleslaw and BBQ sauce. Or top with your favorite burger toppings.
