Breaded Turkey Onion Burgers. There are just a few sniffs you can sniff that call you to dinner faster than fried onions. One time when I was making these simple, delicious burgers a neighbor showed up at my doorstep asking what I was making that smelled so darn good. It was nothing fancy. Just a humble dinner my grandmother used to make with amazing sniffs.
Breaded Turkey Onion Burgers
- 24 ounces ground turkey (or chicken)
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, fine diced or grated
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
- 1 1/2 cups flour, divided
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
Chop none medium yellow onion. Heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the onions, salt, pepper, and 3 tablespoons of the flour into the turkey. Mix just until combined.
Measure out six burgers at 4 ounces each. Make the patties somewhat thin because you need to make sure they are cooked to 165°F degrees in the middle; and, you don’t want the outside to burn while waiting for the inside to reach the done temperature.
Place oil in a large frying pan and preheat the pan over medium-high heat. The mix of the two different oils will help the breading to crisp up better than just using olive oil alone.
Coat each burger in flour.
Place burgers in the frying pan. Turn heat to medium if needed.
Flip after about five minutes. Flip all burgers to the other side and cook until the inside of the burgers reach 165°F.
