MoMo's Grilled Turkey Burgers

I wanted to make some burgers for my wife (who doesn't eat beef) one day. I came up with this grilled turkey burger recipe on the fly, remembering some items that my father put in his burgers. My wife instantly loved them! I thought it was a fluke but I made them for parties for my wife and everyone else loved them too! Quick and delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 4 hamburger buns, split

Steps

1. Combine turkey, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, onion powder, poultry seasoning, cumin, chili powder, salt, white pepper, and cayenne in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand. Shape into 4 patties. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to absorb all of the flavors.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3. Place patties on the preheated grill, close the lid, and let them sit for 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until browned and no longer pink, 7 to 9 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a patty should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve on buns immediately.
