Description
Super flavorful and easy to make on the stovetop or grill, these juicy low FODMAP turkey burgers make a quick and healthy main for lunch or dinner. They're also Paleo, Whole30, low carb and Keto friendly using a compliant bun alternative (see my notes for lots of options!).
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos*
- 1 tablespoon dried chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil (for the pan if not using non-stick)
- 4 buns (see notes for options)
- Your favorite burger toppings (see notes for options)
Instructions
- Add ground turkey, egg, garlic-infused olive oil, coconut aminos, chives, salt, and pepper to a large bowl and mix with your hands or a spoon until just combined.
- Using your hands, shape turkey mixture into 4 patties with your hands and place on a large plate. The patties should each be about about 3.5-inches in diameter and about 1-inch thick. Stick the plate of burger patties in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Place a large skillet on medium heat and add the avocado oil (if using) or preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (I use a natural gas grill). Once hot, add the burger patties and sear on each side for 4-5 minutes or until they reach 165°F per an instant read thermometer.
- Remove from heat, serve on a bun (or bun alternative) with your favorite toppings, like my Low FODMAP Ketchup, Quick Low FODMAP Pickles and/or Low FODMAP Burger Sauce, and sides, like Low FODMAP Air Fryer French Fries or Low FODMAP Broccoli Salad with Bacon.
