Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup BBQ sauce (plus additional for topping)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 hamburger buns
Lettuce, tomato, and onion for serving

Instructions

Prep the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, pressing gently in the center for even cooking.
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. Ensure it’s well-oiled to prevent sticking.

Grill the Burgers: Place the turkey patties on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Brush with additional BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.
Serve: Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill if desired. Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, onion, and extra BBQ sauce.
