Heatproof Bowl

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1/2 cup Gruyere cheese finely grated
4 scallions thinly sliced
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs plus more as needed
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for grilling
4 burger buns
Lettuce tomato, pickles for serving

Instructions

Heat grill to HIGH heat.
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey and grated Gruyere cheese using a fork.
Add scallions, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to the turkey mixture.
Season generously with salt and pepper.
Gently form the mixture into 4 patties, approximately 1 inch thick.
Lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil.
Place patties on the hottest part of the grill and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned.
Move patties to a cooler section of the grill and continue cooking for 5-10 minutes per side until cooked through.
Grill buns lightly if desired.
Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato, and pickles.

Notes

If the mixture is too wet and won't hold together, gradually add more breadcrumbs until it reaches the right consistency

Internal temperature should reach 165°F for fully cooked turkey

Don't overmix the meat mixture to keep burgers tender

Let patties rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking to redistribute juices

Swiss or white cheddar can substitute for Gruyere if needed

Patties can be formed up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated
