🔪 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make the Turkey Mixture

In a large bowl, combine:
Ground turkey + onion + Worcestershire + Dijon + smoked paprika + garlic powder + onion powder + thyme + oregano + salt + pepper + mayonnaise.
Mix gently—don’t overwork, or patties become dense.

If you want a firmer patty, add the breadcrumbs.

2. Form the Patties

Divide into 4 equal balls and gently shape into patties about ¾-inch thick.
Press a small indentation in the center—prevents puffing.

Refrigerate 20–30 minutes so they hold shape.

3. Cook the Patties

GRILL METHOD (closest to restaurant taste)

• Preheat grill to medium-high (425°F / 220°C).

• Brush patties lightly with oil.

• Grill 5–6 minutes per side, flipping once.

• Add cheese during the last 1–2 minutes.
  Cook to 165°F / 74°C internal temperature.

SKILLET METHOD

• Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a cast-iron skillet.

• Cook patties 5–6 minutes per side.

• Cover after flipping for extra moisture.

4. Toast the Buns

Brush buns with butter and toast on grill or skillet until golden.

5. Assemble

Build your burger:
Bun → lettuce → turkey patty → cheese → tomato → onion → pickles → sauce → top bun

Serve with fries, sweet potato wedges, or coleslaw.

🌟 CHEF TIPS FOR A TRULY JUICY TURKEY BURGER

1. Mayo = Moisture Insurance

Ruby Tuesday uses flavorful juicy patties, and mayo helps prevent dryness.

2. Don’t Overmix

Overworked turkey becomes tough quickly.

3. Add Shredded Zucchini for Extra Juiciness

Optional but highly effective:
Add ¼ cup finely shredded zucchini, squeezed dry.

4. Chill Before Cooking

Helps patties stay intact on the grill.

5. Sauce Matters

Great options:

• Honey mustard

• Chipotle mayo

• Regular mayo + splash of Worcestershire
