Green Onion Turkey Burgers
Burgers and sandwiches, they are some of my favorite things! A big handful of juicy deliciousness, oh yeahhh! And don't get me wrong - I LOVE a beef burger, but these Green Onion Turkey Burgers were so juicy and so incredible, for a minute there I was like...beef who?! These were stuffed with green onions, garlic, Dijon, and spices! I whipped up a honey mustard mayo to smear all over the pretzel bun and then loaded the burgers up with a bunch of fresh veggies! This was just mind blowing! I'm salivating just writing about it! These burgers had me digging in the fridge for that last quarter of a burger in the middle of the night! I just could not get enough of the flavor!

- 2 tbsp Cold Water
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil divided
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- ½ tsp Salt

Instructions
To make the honey mustard mayo:
- Add all honey mustard mayo ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
To make the green onion turkey burgers:
- Add all burger ingredients besides 1 tbsp olive oil to a large bowl. Use your hands to mix and combine, but don't over mix!
- Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized burger patties. A good rule of thumb is to make the patty pretty close to the same size buns you have! Mine ended up being about 1 inch thick.
- Using your thumb, push a shallow indent into the middle of each patty. Set aside until ready to cook!
- Pro Tip: Using the cold water in the burger mix keeps the turkey juicy! And creating the little indent in the patties allows for more even cooking and stops the burger patties from puffing up!
- Next, preheat the oven to 350℉ to toast the buns.
To cook the green onion turkey burgers:
- Heat the rest of the olive oil on a grill pan or a large skillet on medium high heat.
- Add the burgers and cook for 5 minutes per side, flipping only once. Once burgers are at an internal temperature of 165℉, remove to a plate and allow them to rest for a few minutes. While we wait, we can toast the buns!
To toast the pretzel buns:
- Butter the top and bottoms of all of the buns, then toast them for 3-5 minutes directly on the oven rack, butter side down.
To serve the green onion turkey burgers:
- Assemble the burgers as follows: smear the honey mustard mayo on the top and bottom of the buns. Add the turkey burger to the bottom bun, place two tomato slices on top, sprinkle some salt and pepper on the tomatoes, add the lettuce to the top bun and put the burger together!
- Serve with your favorite sides! We had ours with some fries, but they'd also be good with kettle chips, tater tots, or a side salad! Try my air fried seasoned potatoes! Enjoy!
