The Two Ingredient Turkey Burger Recipe requires only ground turkey and Italian sausage.This is a quick and easy recipe and a family favorite recipe! I use a 2:1 ratio of ground turkey to Italian sausage. The amount of sausage has enough ingredients to moisten and season the turkey burgers. The turkey burgers that I used to make would always end up very dry or would have so many ingredients in them to keep them moist that they did not end up tasting like burgers. These are a great make-ahead recipe too. We usually mix them in the morning before work, and then patty them up for dinner when we get home from work.
Here’s how to make the turkey burgers!
Birth of the turkey burger
One day, my wife brought home ground turkey and some Italian sausage made from ground turkey for us to try. They both were next to each other in the grocery case, so why not try something new? I think I tried to make meatballs with the combination of the two and then one day I tried burgers with the same recipe. My family loved them and, just like so many other recipes, we have been making this burger recipe ever since. We don’t have to worry about seasonings. Just like with any other burger, the toppings and variations are endless and they are great grilled!
We try to make enough turkey burgers for lunch the next day. They really hold up well and stay moist in the fridge.
The burgers go great with the strawberry almond salad! They make for a great summer combination for a picnic or family party.
This is just one of the great dinners I have on my site. Click here to try out some more!
