Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 bread buns
Burger Patties
- 2 lbs ground turkey
- ½ red onion minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Toppings
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 tsp Dijon mustard
- 4 slices mozzarella
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 crunchy lettuce leaves e.g. romaine or Little Gem
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 250°F (121°C)
- In a large bowl, add ground turkey, garlic, red onion, salt and black pepper. Use your hands to mix it all together. Be careful not to overwork.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal balls. Use your hands to press into a hockey puck/patty shape.
- Place the burgers on the smoker grates and cook until the internal temperature hits 160°F (71°C), about 1 hour
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the smoker. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top and set to one side to rest.
- Whilst the burgers are resting, prepare the buns. Spread ½ tbsp mayonnaise and ¼ tsp Dijon mustard on both halves of each bun.
- Slide the cheese-topped burgers onto each bottom bun. Top with a slice of tomato and a lettuce leaf, before crowning with the top bun to serve.
