Ingredients

1 pound of ground turkey
1/2 to 1 pound of Italian turkey sausage or regular Italian sausage

Instructions

Combine ingredients and form into burger patties. Cook until well done or at least 165 degrees F.

Notes

Can I use sweet or spicy Italian sausage in this recipe?
Yes! Both work well. Sweet sausage gives a mild flavor, while spicy adds a little kick. Choose what suits your taste.

Can I make these turkey burgers ahead of time?
Absolutely. Mix and shape the patties in the morning, then refrigerate until ready to cook. They also reheat well!

Can I freeze the burger patties?
Yes! Freeze uncooked patties between layers of parchment paper in an airtight container or bag for up to 3 months.

What’s the best way to cook them — grill, pan, or oven?
They’re excellent on all three. Grill or pan-fry for a crispy sear, or bake for hands-off cooking.

Do I need to add any seasoning to the burgers?
Nope! The sausage adds all the seasoning and moisture needed. That’s the beauty of the 2-ingredient trick!
