What are Turkey Burgers? 

Many of us have made hamburgers in our Instant Pot, but red meat isn’t necessarily the healthiest option for us. So, instead, you can make these deliciously healthy turkey burgers, A turkey burger tastes almost identical to a regular hamburger except that instead of being made with ground beef, it is made with ground turkey.

For this recipe, you really won’t need a lot of ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Ground turkey

Ground Turkey: Ground turkey is a healthier hamburger option than ground beef. But, you can choose to use ground beef instead (see instructions, below).

Seasonings: Even plain ground beef isn’t the best! Season up your burgers by mixing in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and white pepper.

Hamburger buns: If you want to make this recipe low carb, consider getting Keto buns. I like the Smartbuns.

Can I Make These with Beef?

Absolutely! If you don’t really like ground turkey, you can most definitely use beef instead. I use ground turkey because it’s a healthier option. Follow my Instant Pot Hamburgers recipe to use beef instead!

Are Turkey Burgers Healthy?

Turkey is a leaner, healthier meat than beef. So, these Instant Pot turkey burgers are most definitely going to be healthier than using beef. Depending on the buns you use, you can get some unhealthy carbs, but if you choose a carb free bun, you can make these burgers even healthier.

How to Store Leftovers

You can store leftover turkey burgers in your refrigerator for about 3 days. Simply place them in an airtight Tupperware container and place them in the refrigerator. Keep in mind that the longer they are in the fridge, the more dried out they will be.

Can You Freeze Them?

Absolutely! However, to prevent them from being dry, I would suggest storing the burgers in the freezer before you cook them. Either way, place your burgers in a freezer bag with parchment paper in between each patty.
