Ingredients
Nowadays, plant-based burgers can be found almost anywhere – from the popular Beyond Burger and Lightlife Burgers, to Impossible and Impossible Burgers; all have slowly made an entrance into the market. But one vegan burger that hasn’t caught on yet: the turkey burger hasn’t quite taken hold as much.
Trader Joe’s recently launched their version of a plant-based turkey burger called Perfect Turkey Burger. Crafted with pea protein and featuring an authentic ground turkey texture, these delicious vegan-friendly, gluten-free, soy-free, Non-GMO Project verified burgers can satisfy even your toughest culinary demands!
In order to create vegan turkey burgers, you will require ground turkey mixed with garlic powder and onion powder as well as mayonnaise for binding purposes and adding moisture when cooking on either the grill or skillet. Finally, some colorful veggies such as red onion, green bell peppers, zucchini squash, fresh parsley leaves as well as salt or paprika for some additional smokiness will complete the package.
Preparation
As the plant-based burger trend gains momentum, more options for vegan burgers are appearing in grocery stores. From Impossible Burger to Beyond Burger – there’s sure to be one suitable for every event or situation!
This delicious ground turkey meal is simple to put together and packed with protein and vegetables! Feel free to swap out the ketchup or mustard with any of your preferred condiments to suit your own personal tastes and make this dish truly perfect!
Prep the ingredients ahead of time by tossing and pulsing in a food processor: bell pepper, red onion, riced cauliflower that has been steamed, arugula leaves, garlic cloves, Kosher salt, oregano leaves and chili powder are just some of the items needed.
Once all the ingredients have been prepared, form them into 4 burger patties and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour to set before refrigerating them.
Cooking
Start by heating up the pan and then lowering the flame until you achieve beautiful grill marks, while simultaneously reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees for even cooking.
