Description
Juicy and flavorful turkey burgers using paleo ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground turkey
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1.5 tablespoons almond flour
- 1.5 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2 cloves chopped garlic
- 1 chopped green onion
Buns and toppings of choice
- butter lettuce
- onion
- tomato
- paleo mayonnaise
- pickles (yum!)
- Dijon mustard
- paleo ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to about 400 or 450 degrees.
- Beat the egg in a large bowl and stir in the coconut aminos and liquid smoke.
- Mix all spices and flours in a separate bowl or cup (this helps to make sure everything is blended evenly without over mixing the turkey mix).
- Add the turkey, then the rest of the ingredients to the bowl with the egg/coconut aminos/liquid smoke mixture and mix everything together (I usually use my hands to blend it all up).
- Form mixture into patties and grill ’em up!
- Grill time will depend on your heat and size of your patties. On average, about 5 minutes per side. Check internal temperature to make sure they are at 165 degrees.
Notes
I like to use green onion in this recipe because it looks pretty, but I have also used 3-4 tablespoons of chopped red or yellow onion, which also tastes delicious.
I have heard people say they grease their grill before grilling their turkey burgers. I don’t find they stick, but feel free to grease up first.
I haven’t made these in the oven yet, though I would imagine you could bake them at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes on each side. Just make sure they have an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
I usually like these just on a giant piece of lettuce, but if you are looking for a tasty, easy paleo burger bun, these are great (and Boy George makes them!). You can sub arrowroot equally for the tapioca if tapioca doesn’t work for you.
