I start incorporating grilling into our weekly meal plan as soon as spring is here and it’s warm enough to stand on the deck and barbecue without getting frostbite. Actually, my husband makes me wait until he can turn on the propane tank without wearing winter gloves. Seriously though, we just love grilled seafood (these shrimp skewers are SO good!), vegetables, burgers – you name it. Pretty much anything cooked on the grill is delicious, but it can be tricky to stay on a healthy-eating track once grilling season comes and so do high-fat beef burgers, smokies, hot dogs, steaks…you get the idea.

Healthy Grilled Turkey Burgers

It’s always a challenge to find healthy recipes for the barbecue, but this healthy turkey burger recipe is amazing! The grilled turkey burgers are so juicy and they’re bursting with flavour! They don’t contain an enormous amount of fat and calories, they’re full of vegetables, and they can even be made with oat flour, making them gluten-free turkey burgers! The Sriracha mayo complements the flavours in the grilled turkey burger so well and it gives the meal a nice spicy kick. The man in your life may scoff at the idea of a turkey burger, but trust me – these are just as juicy and flavourful as any beef burger I’ve ever had!

Tips for Making Perfect Homemade Burgers

Follow these simple tips and you’ll be creating perfectly cooked, juicy homemade burgers every time!

• Tip #1: Use your hands to combine all the ingredients together, mixing well, just until everything is combined.  Don’t over mix! Using your hands creates a nice even texture and it ensures everything is evenly mixed.
• Tip #2: If you’re sensing that the mixture is too sticky to form into patties, just add another 2-3 tablespoons of oat flour or breadcrumbs. Moisture levels in meat can vary and even the size of the egg can make a difference in the texture of the meat mixture. A little extra breadcrumbs or oat flour will absorb some of that moisture and help with forming the patties.
• Tip #3: Always use a kitchen scale to make sure that all burger patties are the same weight. This will assure that they cook evenly. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. There’s nothing worse than an under-cooked or over-cooked burger!
• Tip #4: When the burgers are cooked through to the correct temperature, remove them from the grill right away and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. Resting helps create a juicy interior and it also helps the burgers stay together.
