Ingredients
- 1/2 cup seasoned dried bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 large sesame-seed buns
- Condiments!
Directions
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs and milk. Stir with the table fork until blended. Add the ketchup, egg, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended. Add the ground turkey. Using the table fork, gently mix the ingredients together until just blended. Don’t overwork the mixture, or your burgers will be tough.
-
Divide the mixture into 4 equal mounds. Lightly wet your hands with water and shape each mound into a flat circle about 4 inches in diameter. Place the burgers on the plate.
-
Add the vegetable oil to the frying pan and set over medium-low heat. Heat 1 minute and then tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly with the oil. Using the metal spatula, place the burgers in the pan. Cook the burgers until the bottoms are browned, about 5 minutes. Holding the pan steady with the pot holder, use the spatula to flip the burgers. Continue cooking until the burgers are cooked through, 5-7 minutes longer. Cut into the center to test.
-
Lift the burgers from the pan with the spatula. Serve immediately.

*Note: we usually grill these; grill on foil if it seems like it will fall apart. Grill approx. 5 minutes each side, on medium (the first side 1 minute on high, 4 minutes on medium, flip it and do 5 minutes on medium).
