Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 pound fresh ground turkey ((a mixture of dark and white meat))
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion
  • Finely grated rind and juice of 1 small lemon (preferably organic (about 2 teaspoons zest and 2 to 3 tablespoons juice))
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped mint (plus more to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 slider buns
  • 1 small lemon (cut into wedges, for serving)

Instruction

  • Place all the ingredients except the oil, buns, and lemon wedges in a bowl and mix well with a fork.
  • Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions for sliders or 4 equal portions for burgers. Shape each portion into a patty. Place the patties on a parchment-lined sheet pan or large plate, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary so as not to crowd the skillet, add the patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for sliders, 6 to 8 minutes on each side for burgers, until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Transfer the patties to a warm serving plate and serve immediately with the buns and the lemon wedges for squeezing over the burgers.
