Baked Turkey Burgers

Turkey burgers can have the reputation of being dry and bland. But that will never be the case with these baked turkey burgers. Even without the oil, they're packed with flavor thanks to soy sauce, garlic, green onion, and shallot. And, baking takes the guess work out of knowing whether burgers are fully cooked.

 We skip the bread crumbs (which can lead to dryness!), so it's helpful to wet your hands to form the patties. Once they're on the sheet tray, you can continue to shape into a more perfect patty if you want. The thickness of your patties will determine how quickly they cook, so if you go wider than a 3" patty keep an eye on them to make sure they don't overcook!

You can top these however you like, but we love adding some richness to the lean turkey burger with a bit of avocado as well as a bit of bite from fresh red onion. This would also be great with some sautéed kale or cole slaw on top.
